He Fought Communism and Won: Watch ‘Liberating a Continent: John Paul II and the Fall of Communism’ on EWTN

The story of Pope Saint John Paul II’s victory over Communism didn’t begin at the start of his papacy, but at the start of his life. See how that story unfolded through the lens of the late, great pope, when EWTN airs “Liberating a Continent: John Paul II and the Fall of Communism,” at 10 a.m. ET, Tuesday, November 9.
