A scene from Pope John Paul II 2005
Lech Wałęsa

I don't know what to do.

Pope John Paul II

You must fight. You must call by name: what is good, what is evil. And you must fight for your freedom.

Lech Wałęsa

Do they think you'd say something like that?

Pope John Paul II

You must be tough. You must be very tough. But you cannot hate and you must not kill.

Lech Wałęsa

[pause]

We all have such anger for these Communists. They have hurt so many friends, ruined families.

Pope John Paul II

I know. I also know with God's love, one day this will end and then we must find ways to forgive. [pause] Forgiveness is God's might.
