Book On Clerical Abuse Cover-up Could Push Nationalists Ahead In Upcoming Polish Elections
An effigy of St. John Paul II is seen at the All Saints church on Plac Grzybowski in Warsaw, Poland on 24 March, 2023. A recently published book by Dutch journalist Ekke Overbeek which claims John Paul II covered up cases of pedofilia has galvanized supporters of the ruling, nationalist Law and Justice party (PiS). Many who may normally not go out to vote in this fall's upcoming parliamentary elections now may feel compelled to defend the late pope's legacy. (Photo by Jaap Arriens/NurPhoto)
