As the first Slav Pope, he devoted much of the first half of his papacy defeating communism in the largely Slav countries of eastern Europe.


Was it also during the first half of his papacy that Liberation
Theology was being applied to the western world?

Not to defend the Pope-I think he "inherited" that movement and worked against it-if I am not mistaken.

Liberation theology was past its prime by the mid eighties I think.
