John Paul II's response to being credited with fall of Communism
“I am constantly aware that in everthing I say and do in fulfilment of my vocation, my mission, my ministry, what happens is not just my own initiative. I know that it is not I alone who act in what I do as the Successor of Peter. Let us that the example of the Communist system. As I have said before, a contributory factor in its demise was certainly its deficient economic doctrine, but to account for what happened solely in terms of economic factors would be a rather ‘naïve’ simplification. On the other hand, it would be ‘ridiculous’ to claim that (the Pope) had brought down Communism single-handedly. I think the explanation can be found in the Gospel. When the first disciples returned to their Master, having been sent ou on a mission, they said: ‘Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name’(Luke 10:17). Christ replied to them: ‘Do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that the names are written in heaven’(Luke 10:20). And on another occasion he adds: ‘Say:“We are unworthy servants, we have only done what was our duty” ’(Luke 17:10). Unworthy servants ... The sense of being an ‘unworthy servant’ is growing in me in the midst of all that happens around me - and I think I feel at ease with this.”
