“Pope John Paul II himself was kind of a rather independent, creative man. I remember being told by somebody who worked very close with him in preparation for his first visit to the United States in 1979, he studied our normative documents, Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, the Constitution. And he was amazed. He called his priests first thing in the morning and he said, he said, I thought America was a pagan country.” MenFirstsKindSaidCountryStatesAmericaRememberUnitedMorningUnited StatesCreativePaperConstitutionIndependentIndependencePreparationPriestsDocumentsPopeAmazedDeclarationPapersPaganDeclaration Of IndependenceFederalistFederalist PapersJohn PaulJohn Paul IiPope John Paul Author:Chris Matthews

There was a good gel there.” ThinkingStatesFoundChallengesChurchUnitedUnited StatesCatholicPressesFascinatedPopeAlliancesCatholic ChurchVigorJohn PaulJohn Paul IiPope John Paul Author:Chris Matthews
