Many have accredited the Pope along side Thatcher and Reagan for bringing down the Wall. Liberal’s love to not give Reagan any credit for that as “it was going to happen anyway.” Sure, balls roll up hills by themselves, too. Either way, this article on the Pope’s part is a very interesting one indeed. It does lead one to really believe Poland’s freedom of Iron Fist is due partly because of the Polish Pope himself, John Paul II. It could be he indeed help the fall of the Wall.
Why, the pope asked, had God lifted a Pole to the papacy? Perhaps it was because of how Poland had suffered for centuries, and through the 20th century had become “the land of a particularly responsible witness” to God. The people of Poland, he suggested, had been chosen for a great role, to understand, humbly but surely, that they were the repository of a special “witness of His cross and His resurrection.” He asked then if the people of Poland accepted the obligations of such a role in history.
The crowd responded with thunder.“We want God!” they shouted, together. “We want God!”
