More from the Poland speech of last July . . this time celebrating their enduring faith:
"When . . one million Poles gathered around Victory Square for their very first mass with their Polish Pope . . every communist in Warsaw must have known that their oppressive system would soon come crashing down. They must have known it at the exact moment during Pope John Paul II’s sermon when a million Polish men, women, and children suddenly raised their voices in a single prayer. A million Polish people did not ask for wealth. They did not ask for privilege. Instead, one million Poles sang three simple words: “We Want God.”
Catholic Christian faith is claimed by 90% of the Polish people.
