Behind the Pope's SPIRITUAL OFFENSIVE In Eastern Europe - Gene H Hogberg - October 1983

Gene H Hogberg

Few comprehend the long-term objectives of Pope John Paul II with regard to Poland and all of Eastern-and Western-Europe. There is no doubt about it now. As a result of his dramatic trip to his Polish homeland last June, Pope John Paul II is firmly established as the most charismatic leader in the Western world. The televised spectacle of his performance before millions of Poles over eight days elevated the Pope, said one American newsman, to the status of a "spiritual superpower." Once again the Polish born Pope showed his capacity to speak out with boldness- but with canny political caution at the same time. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
