Pedo enabler!
Based Saint Pope John Paul II the destroyer of communism
I think this was the Pope who was kissing the ground everywhere.
Before then to say something was impossible you would say “When pigs fly and the pope is Polish.”
Why was he the first in so long? Did the Vatican think that making a stand against communism, as he was from an eastern bloc country, was more important than having an Italian as the Pope?
And now the pious Polish fanatics desecrate his legacy by using the church as a political weapon. Great job.
Saw him at an audience in the Vatican, not long before he died. My older brother met him when he visited Denmark
Was raised catholic

And proceeded to set the clock 50 years back for the Italian Roman Catholic Church. Thanks a ton Karol.
When he died, I was probably 6 or 7
We were on the couch with my parents watching the news and it was the first time I was seeing my mountain of a dad tear up
He wasn’t much of a christian so to this day I still don’t know exactly why he cried but it moved me
