Polish woman defends book on friendship with JPII
The Associated Press
Now she is defending her recent book of correspondence with the pope against criticism from church officials that she “exaggerated” her friendship with the late pontiff and could delay his beatification. Wanda Poltawska 87 said her book — a collection of her religious meditations and John Paul’s letters of spiritual guidance — was harmless to his saint-making process and she dismissed those who sought to minimize her friendship with the Polish-born John Paul. “Things that are sacred and great are not to be shown to the people” Poltawska said in an interview from her home in Krakow in southern Poland where the Rev. Karol Wojtyla was a frequent family guest before being elected pope in 1978. “What is wrong in a priest’s friendship with a woman? Isn’t a priest a human being?” she asked. No one has publicly suggested Poltawska and John Paul had a romantic relationship and the book makes no such claim. The two who campaigned together against abortion in Poland under communism referred to one another as brother and sister and she often visited the pope with her husband a philosopher and four daughters in tow.
