For the record, the pope didn't do anything to bring down the berlin wall or in any way have an effect on communism.

or when a pope opposes communism
Yup, delirious it is. John Paul II was virtually defined by his campaign against communism, particularly in Poland. He was personally involved in the first resistance campaigns in Poland in the 70s which in the end acted as the catalyst across eastern europe. As pope he was so totally against communism it's a fairlyopen secret the kremlin was behind the assassination attempt for crying out loud.
