New Museum to Honor the Life & Legacy of Pope St. John Paul II | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Sunday is the feast of Saint John Paul II and a new museum is honoring his life and legacy. The Memory and Identity Museum is in the saint's native Poland. John Paul II was elected to the papacy in 1978. He was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. He is credited with helping to bring an end to Communism in Eastern Europe. In his inaugural address as pope, on October 22nd, 1978, he uttered his famous phrase, "Do not be afraid!" Professor at Grove City College and author of "A Pope and a President: John Paul the Second, Ronald Reagan and the Extraordinary Untold Story of the 20th Century," Dr. Paul Kengor, joins to share in what ways St. John Paul II remains relevant today in both his native Poland and the Catholic Church. In last weekend's elections in Poland, the former Communist Party received a lot of support from young voters. Dr. Kengor discusses what this signals for the future of Poland. He tells us more about the saint's relationship with then-president Ronald Reagan and whether he thinks we will ever see a US politician work so closely with the Vatican again. Dr. Kengor fills us in on what he will be doing to honor St. John Paul II on his feast day on Sunday. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
