Abstract

Appealing to history, Pope John Paul II confirms the immense cultural and religious significance of Catholicism in Poland over the previous centuries. He argues that the history of the motherland— his native country— is written in the life of Christ. The homily, delivered on June 2, 1979, is an appeal for freedom both through Christ and through the memory of the Unknown Soldier, who fought and sacrificed for the motherland.
