A report on faith-based religious organizations and tax laws. In this phase of this great jubilee pilgrimage he wanted to walk where Saint Paul had walked, pray where Saint Paul had prayed, preached on the Areopagus, in Athens, where Saint Paul had preached his famous sermon on the unknown God. But what's so interesting about John Paul II is that he refuses to take no for an answer. He refuses to believe that it's impossible for the Christian East and the Christian West to come together again, and I think what we saw is that his very presence in these situations changes the human dynamics of these situations. People are willing to talk again and talk in a way that they had not talked before because of the power of his personal witness to the truth of Christian unity.
