The Christ Nation, Part Three: The Pope in Poland

A story of the persecution and survival of the Polish Church during communist rule.

The head of the KGB in Moscow, Yuri Andropov, telephoned the KGB office in Warsaw and demanded to know how they could possibly let this happen. They responded that Mr. Andropov should direct his questions to Rome, not Warsaw. When Polish communist politician Stanislaw Kania read the news that Wojtyla had been elected pope, he uttered under his breath: Holy Mother of God. In his shock it seems Comrade Kania had forgotten he was officially an atheist.
