John Paul II is not only a writer, but also an extremely popular hero of contemporary literary works. Some poets interestingly problematise the issue of the presence of the Pope’s figure in the media. Tadeusz Dąbrowski’s poem transfers our attention from a single television frame to a reflection on the role of the media in our digital world. In contrast, the lyrics of Roman Bąk first contain a caricatured image of the media and show the Pope-prophet and mystic in the second part of his diptych.
