 June 2-10, 2009 marks the 30th anniversary of Pope John Paul II’s historic nine day visit to Poland in June of 1979. It was the Holy Father’s first visit to his homeland since his election to the Papacy, just eight months earlier.
George Weigel describes this nine day period as the pivot upon which the entire 20th Century turned. It is an extraordinary claim, yet well supported by what transpired in the years after Karol Woytila’s triumphal return to Poland in June of 1979 as Pope John Paul II.
In a new documentary, Nine Days that Changed the World, Speaker Newt Gingrich and his wife, Callista, explore this claim.
