People's power and society as two opposing realities. Martial Law in Poland (1981-83). The Pope's prayer for "Solidarity" and the interned and the prayer of the interned for the Pope. The visit of John Paul II to the grave of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko ( the chaplain of "Solidarity") in 1987. The phenomenon of "Solidarity" as a reality directed towards transformation rather than against anyone.
