The election of Cardinal Wojtyła, Pope John Paul II, recalled by the former rector of the Polish College, where he was living
“The day after Cardinal Karol Wojtyła’s election as Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński asked him how he felt as Pope. John Paul II answered that he felt as if he had always been here. To that, cardinal Wyszynski replied that it was the grace of the state, a sign of God’s special grace,” says Archbishop Józef Michalik who, at that time, was the rector of the Polish College in Rome, from whence Cardinal Wojtyła, went to the conclave at which he was elected pope, 40 years ago, on 16 October 1978.
