Pope John Paul II Cult In Poland

A statue of pope John Paul II standing in front of the Sanctuary of Saint John Paul II the Great in Lagiewniki, Krakow, Poland on March 18, 2023. Poland's parliament has recently passed a resolve defending the name of the late Polish pope John Paul II after journalistic investigation conducted by the Polish television channel TVN shown that the late pope was aware of church paedophilia scandals cases and tried to cover these up by transferring priests to other dioceses when he was archbishop of Krakow.
