Polish PM says John Paul II changed world history

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on the centenary of the birth of St. John Paul II on Monday that the late Polish-born pope had changed the history of the world. He also said that communism had collapsed owing to the Polish-born pope and the Solidarity trade union. On Monday, the PM, German Ambassador to Poland Rolf Nikel and Polish Archbishop Kazimierz Nycz attended a ceremony during which a piece of the Berlin Wall was handed over to the Museum of John Paul II and Polish Primate Stefan Wyszynski.
