40 years ago, John Paul II's first visit to Poland that brought the collapse of communism 

He even help nazi facist

Praying for you to find Christ.

Communism is not destroyed but USSR dissolved, and Socialism-Marxism nowadays is more widespread than ever. God bless you all.

There's no comunism anymore.

No but for me they could be friends and I don’t know if they met but during Vatican II because was JPII was there

I think he helped contribute to the movement. If anything he inspired the people to keep up the fight.

You need to look more into this. It's not an overstatement. Basically the Poles begrudgingly accepted Communism as long as they could keep their Catholic faith. Most every other Communist country outlawed it, and while the communist officials in Poland wanted to outlaw it, they knew that there would be a widespread revolt. As the video shows, the communist leaders blocked previous popes from visiting, but John Paul II insisted and they really would've looked foolish blocking the first Polish pope from Poland. The Communists tried their best to make sure he didn't make such a splash. They chose smaller cities and hid crowd sizes on TV. But with 1,000,000+ people gathered in Warsaw to see him, they finally saw the truth that the Party had tried to hide from them: we are united, we have the love of God behind us, and we can overcome the yoke of Communism. Without him there, the Polish people would have thought they were alone and unable to overcome what they saw as the majority. Through the pope, they saw the Catholic faithful WERE the majority and thus could not be denied. They started Solidarity right after this and the rest is history. This was in 1979, 6 years between Gorbachev and 10 years before the fall of the Berlin Wall. With St. John Paul II there would be no Solidarity. With no Solidarity, there would have been no fall of Communism in Poland and thus no fall of Communism in the Eastern Bloc. Guess which date Communism was voted out of Poland? June 4th, 1989, the same day as the Tiananmen Square Massacre. The protests had been going on for over a month at that point. But despite the newly elected leader of China claiming to be a reformist, he obviously saw what was happening in Poland and took it as a threat that had to be ended. So yeah, St. John Paul II was the catalyst that started this downfall. Learn history.

John Paul II had 38 000 000 soldiers and that would equal around 1440 divisions!

Who cares??! The real motive anyone wants a black Jesus or a black pope is some sort of political messianism of dark peoples. Secondly it's not "they"r job or their church, it is God's! If God wishes a non-white pope He will elect one, simple as that!

@@vroomkaboom108 It is bound to happen sooner or later you will see Asian and black pope no matter how much you cry in hatred because today every one is enlightened to assert their rights everywhere including in religious equality

@@Infiniteemptiness Lmao the only one i see crying in hatred is you, because a pope doesn't have your preferred skin color, all i spoke is just fact.

@@vroomkaboom108 I'm not even Christian I'm Muslim from Iran though now living in USA but just wanted to enlightened people of color to fight white supremacy in everything including religion

And what's the difference between black or white?? People don't really care about the skin colour, for me Karol Wojtyla was the best Polish Pope and I'd say if he was black I wouldn't have a problem...

😂 do you know anyone personally that was abused by a priest? What have you don't to help them if you do??? There are huge governments and other cultures who hate anything "white" that are trying to take down the catholic church. Something tells me you give Muslims permission to rape anyone they want.

Most of the abuse were between the 50s-70s before he even became pope. Stop trolling Catholic vids
