After lunching with the Pope several days before his operation, Poland's new Primate Jozef Glemp declared that John Paul will "almost certainly" be traveling next year. As it happens, next year Poland will be marking the 600th anniversary of the arrival of the nation's most venerated religious symbol, the Black Madonna of Czestochowa, clearly a celebration the former Cardinal from Cracow would...
