The CIA worked closely with Pope John Paul II to hasten the fall of communism in Poland, according to a new book co-written by Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein. As part of the informal alliance, the book claims, President Reagan cut off funding for abortion programs overseas, and the pope kept silent on U.S. efforts to install cruise missiles in Western Europe.
