I am encouraged by the visit and I don't trust what comes out of Poland and the Ukraine with respect to the visit.  

I am just learning about how the Vatican was used by the CIA during the Reagan administration (according to declassified CIA documents) to help fund supplies to Solidarity in Poland.  In the 1950's the K of C Supreme Council was instrumental in getting the words "under God" into the American Oath of Allegiance to the Flag and that is also when "In God We Trust" was put on American money.  

Can you imagine the uproar if any country today put "In Allah We Trust" on their money!  

Also in the 1950's, the USA didn't allow the vote on the referendum to unify Vietnam for fear the Vietnamese were not going to vote the way they wanted them to.  

At the time, the president of South Vietnam was Catholic and people - to get USAID and promoted in the S. Vietnamese military - it helped to be Catholic ... in an overwhelmingly Buddhist country.   

I think we have to be careful.
