On this day in history, Sept. 10, 1987, the head of the Catholic Church, Pope John Paul II, visited Miami, Florida, and was greeted by President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan.
"Miami's multiculturalism was on full display, with Cuban flags and Polish Solidarity banners; music in Spanish, Creole, English and Gregorian chant; and the Mass celebrated in three languages." Pope John Paul II is remembered for his successful efforts to end communism, as well as for building bridges with peoples of other faiths. Erica Lamberg is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital.
The cheering audience of thousands waved flags and wore yellow-and-white papal colors.
