NEVER UNDER JPII

Archbishop Stanisław Wielgus was set to be installed as the Cardinal of Warsaw. Then revelations came out that he collaborated with the secret police during the Communist era. Now the Vatican says that it did not know of Wieglus' past.

All I know is that JPII would never have been caught unaware of the past of a man set to be a Cardinal in Poland. He might have forgiven the man. He might have made an argument for national reconciliation. He might have stuck the man in a dead-end job somewhere in rural Poland. But he would *never* have been caught unaware.
