A new exhibition opening in the US seeks to highlight the close bond and collaborative spirit that existed between two of the biggest personalities on the world stage during the 1980s – one of them representing the Church and the other representing the State – and a pivotal period in global politics: Pope John Paul II and President Ronald Reagan.
On 31 August the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, will open its doors on “The Pope and the President” exhibition. Organised by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute, the exhibit seeks to “share the story of President Reagan and Pope John Paul II’s collaboration, friendship and legacies,” states the institute. It will also "feature many items throughout their relationship".
