If trouble attacks us, the most merciful God by the far sounded ringing of the bells says: It must be a new pope! New governor! And He puts a Slav on the throne face to face with many army and weapons, he is inspired by love and with the power of Christ Jesus, he holds the world in his hand. [This is the first and last section of a poem written by Juliusz Slowacki, titled "Papiez Slowianski" (The Slavic Pope), 1848.]
