What exactly did Pope John Paul II mean when upon his election he told the crowds he came from a far away country? Thats what he himself tells us in the last book of his pontificate Memory and Identity, Conversations at the Dawn of the Millennium .. And again what happened exactly on that day in Polands Warsaws Victory Square on June 2, 1979? Thats what the man who coordinated that encounter, Jesuit Cardinal Roberto Tucci tells Veronica Scarisbrick, sharing with her the impression of euphoric welcome on the part of the huge crowds as the Polish Pontiff appeared to them. As they recognised in their fellow countryman a messenger of hope and herald of freedom for their common homeland which at the time was stifling under the choke of communism.
