The Berlin Wall? It fell in Poland

Dear friends,


November 9, 1989 the Berlin Wall fell.With it, also fell Soviet communism.
Now, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism began in Poland and the figure of St. Pope John Paul II (18 May 1920-3 April 2005) was its catalyst.
Poland In fact, it was a country border.
It was a Slavic country like neighboring Russia.
The latter, however, was of the Orthodox religion.
From the sixteenth century, moreover, Poland had to contend not only with Russia but also with the Orthodox Prussia and Sweden, which had passed to Protestantism.
Prussia and Russia pointed to conquer and in the eighteenth century, during the reign of King Stanislaus Poniatowski (1754-1833), along with Austria, they were able to spartirsela.
Therefore, the Poles had struggle to retain their identity.
Catholicism became then part of the national Polish.
When communism in Poland reached (in 1952 it was proclaimed the Polish People's Republic) is revisited by the Poles the same nightmare, foreign domination (Poland became independent in 1918), a nightmare that was characterized by two factors: foreign domination (by the Russians) and the threat to their values, Catholicism in particular.
The "Polish case" brought out what was the evil of communism, a regime that brought nothing but poverty and the Poles not digested the regime.
Even Polish Communists among them there were those who were suspicious of Moscow.
Stalin himself admitted that " bring communism in Poland was groped like to put a saddle of a cow " .
On 16 October 1978 a Polish cardinal named Karol Wojtyla became Pope with the name John Paul II.
He showed everyone that communism was a system that brought poverty (and ignorance) and that was also a system designed to collapse.
In fact, if you continue to bring poverty to die.
He also showed that even in those countries where it was officially banned God was present.
This gave input to drop the symbol of that disgraceful regime, the Berlin Wall .
We must remember that.
Sincerely.
