    Wojciech Jaruzelski 90 reached out to the church for last rites and a Church funeral.

    12 days before his death, the general saw a Catholic priest, who heard his confession and gave him absolution.

    For a many who persecuted the Church in Poland, it was a hard pill for some Catholics to take to seem him have a Church burial.

    Faced with death we all find its time to accept the truth.

    This is General Jaruzelski from the Lech Weleska/Solidarity era yeah?Didnt know he had lived so long.
    The fact that he 'turned' doesnt surprise me though.Most tyrants are hypocrites.

    It must be incredibly hard to forgive another who has caused such hardship and suffering.

    Stalin, a few days before his death, told his daughter he knew the demons were coming for him...
