Washington D.C., Sep 30, 2009 / 06:03 am (CNA).- Former Speaker of the U.S. House Newt Gingrich, a recent convert to Catholicism, is producing a forthcoming documentary about Pope John Paul II’s first return visit to Poland in June 1979. Titled “Nine Days that Change the World,” the film explores the impact of the visit on the collapse of Communism.

The film’s website says that the Polish trade union movement “languished” before June of 1979. Following the visit of Pope John Paul II and the 1980 Gdansk shipyard strike, the Solidarity movement became the first officially recognized free trade union in the Communist bloc and had over 10 million members.

Nine Days that Changed the World seeks to examine what happened during John Paul II’s nine-day visit, why millions of Poles came to see the Pope and what made John Paul II’s visit such a “liberating moment.”

The story of Pope John Paul II’s role in the overthrow of Communism, in Gingrich’s view, will show that our true humanity is found “only in a relationship with God.”

The only trouble is that Communism didn’t “fall.”
It just changed its name to “solidarity.”
The result is the same.
Conform.
Or else.

Bella Dodd told us all about this after she confessed her former Communism
to her Confessor, Fulton J. Sheen. It is an audio tape.

Communism is willing to change its name (but not its operation) continuously
in order to “get” politicians and their willing voters to join Solidarity. They
just call it “universal” in this country.
