John Paul II Stories of male friendships

Author: Grzegorz Polak

Ordinary-unusual men. Friends, mentors and authorities of John Paul II. A circle of outstanding figures who influenced his life choices and intellectual and moral formation.

Karol Wojtyla remained faithful to his friendships, even when he had already become head of the Church. And although he was widely believed to have given more to others than he took from them, he remained grateful to the end of his life to those with whom his history was significantly intertwined. But he also remained faithful to "friendly" saints. Thus, the book features Karol Wojtyła senior, Edmund Wojtyła, Jerzy Kluger, Mieczysław Kotlarczyk, Jan Tyranowski, Stefan Swieżawski, Józef Tischner, Stefan Wyszyński, Adam Stefan Sapieha, Stanisław Dziwisz, but also Brother Albert, John of the Cross, John Maria Vianney, among others.

The reader is introduced to the world of male friendships by Grzegorz Polak - an excellent expert on papal subjects and a journalist with many years of experience, who inquisitively reveals many a mystery.
