In This Video from 1979 you'll see Pope John Paul II's visit and open air mass from Chicago's Grant Park.

Somewhere around 2.5 MILLION CATHOLICS crammed into Grant Park on the day Pope John Paul II came to Chicago.

Never seen anything like that before, and I lived in the Chicago area when Pope John Paul II came here. (I was also still a practicing Catholic.)

Want to see the Catholic Church turn-around? Find another Pope John Paul II. He was BELOVED by all, even when he spoke truth to power.

Pope John Paul II was ridiculed daily on FR. I know because I was reading FR at the time.
