**Now, in Reagan’s Secret War: The Untold Story of His Fight to Save the World from Nuclear Disaster (Crown), husband-and-wife team Martin and Annelise Anderson shed new light on the Reagan-John Paul II relationship by using previously classified U.S. government files.**

This looks like an excelent book!

Ronald Reagan, John Paul II and Margaret Thatcher were, in my opinion, an ordained “Holy Trinity” of the 20th century. Hope God has three more just like them coming up.

Ronald Reagan, John Paul II and Margaret Thatcher were, in my opinion, an ordained “Holy Trinity” of the 20th century.

Or as close as we'll ever get to one. True giants who walked the Earth.

I thought of Lady Thatcher, too, when I read this article. They were great together — all three.

I have found photos of them and of Reagan and Pope John Paul II, but now most of them are not postable. Bah!

Helmut Kohl comes in for honorable mention. And so does even Francois Mitterand, to an extent.

Hey, thanks! I posted a thread about Pope John Paul II when he died and all the Reagan/Pope John Paul II photos are gone!

[dfwgator]

Sorry Mitterand can roast in Hell for his role in the Rwanda massacre.

Thanks for posting. BTTT!

I agree as an American it was great to have Reagan...As a Catholic it was great to have John Paul...As an ally to England, it was great to have Thatcher. We were VERY lucky!!! I don’t think we will ever have anything close to this trio in our lifetimes.

Things that make conservatives feel good.

As a Polish soldier A 19-year-old Karol Wojtyla, (centre),
is seen holding a rifle while performing 'present arms' in this July 1939 photo.

Two months before the outbreak of the second World War, Wojtyla
attended a military training camp in western Ukraine, then eastern Poland.

Martin Anderson, good to see that he’s still around and writing. He was an adviser to Ronald Reagan back to the time when Reagan was Governor.

That’s one of the pictures I remember posting and it seems to have expired. I love it. It shows the consideration and concentration of President Reagan on Pope John Paul’s speech during their talk.

OK, here's the thread I posted when Pope John Paul II died. A lot of pictures from his childhood.
