He shares what the reaction was around the world. His funeral at the Vatican was one of the largest gatherings of diplomats and world leaders in human history. Dr. Kengor tells us what the scene was that day. One of the hallmarks of his papacy was his fight against Communism in Europe. Dr. Kengor discusses why the fight against Communism was so important and what he would think of Communism or Socialism today.
