FILE - This is a Friday, June 6, 1997 file photo of Pope John Paul II as he gives the blessing to believers on a ski jumping range in Zakopane, southern Poland. The Pope is on an eleven-day tour through his home country. Poland's Solidarity movement played a central role in the drama of ousting communism from Europe and in the breakup of the Soviet Union. From his balcony on St. Peter's Square, John Paul II became the spiritual heart of the Solidarity movement. Elected pope in 1978, his visit to his native Poland the following year rallied millions to open-air Masses, making the Poles realize they could unite in a huge, like-minded democratic force.
