John Paul ii is the spiritual inspiration behind the down fall of communism for a peaceful revolution in Poland. He gave the Polish people the courage to demand change. John Paul comforted the people with words such like, "Let your Spirit descend and change the image of the land... this land'. and "Don't be afraid". A solidarity revolution in Poland would have been difficult without John Paul II.  He met with Gorbachev at the Vatican and they both should tremendous respect for the other and admiration. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize honoring his life's work trying to decrease Communism. Pope John II was also given the highest civilian honor in America, Presidential medal of freedom. Without John Paul's II efforts, love, and care towards the people the communism in the World today would not be the same.
