AP European History
Unit 9 – Cold War and Contemporary Europe
Topic 9.7
How did Pope John Paul II's religious perspective influence his position towards communism in Poland?
He supported it because he believed that communism promoted social equality like Catholic teachings do.
He believed that religion should stay out of politics and thus remained neutral about communism in Poland.
He saw it as a moral duty to oppose atheistic communism and advocate for human rights.
His focus was primarily on expanding the Catholic Church around the world rather than focusing on political issues within Poland itself.
