Statue of Reagan and Pope John Paul II in Gdansk.
A perfectly logical move considering that Clinton dreamed of constructing his own "Evil Empire."
Reagan and Pope JPII were great allies in many areas of mutual interest. Add Lady Margaret Thatcher to the group and the western world had a strong ‘fortress’ against godless atheism/communism.
One other thing - German had at that time, a Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who was also an ally against the Communists’ desire to expand in eastern Europe. So a strong bulwark was in place to oppose any Soviet expansionism.
As for any of the recent Democrat party Presidents, there is no way they could masquerade as an ally to any Christian leader. They seem to recoil in horror of the thought of Jesus Crist as Lord.
