Kinga at
Kinuk has
some images
from the Mass in Pilsudski Square, Warsaw, for the Pope, said
by Jozeph Cardinal Glemp, the Primate.
Polskie Radio's story says 300,000 attended (
Mass for
the Pope) in Warsaw, and that 150,000 marched in Krakow, where
Wojtyla was the cardinal archbishop (
Poles
remember the Pope).
Gazeta Wyborcza's site has commentary by
Adam
Michnik,
Leszek
Kolakowski, and
Jan
Turnau, which I'd love to be able to read, but haven't been
translated, AFAIK.
Gazeta Wyborcza is
the largest circulation daily in Poland. It began in May 1989 when
the Communists
dropped
press licensing in the run up to the elections to the Sejm and
Senate in which Solidarity candidates won all races for the Sejm
they were allowed to contest and 99 of the 100 Senate seats
(
Central Europe, June 1989).
A digression: in 1947, when three questions were put to a vote by
the people, the third question was whether the Senate should be
abolished, and the opposition ran a 'No on three' campaign, which
failed.
