Father Pawel Ptasznik, head of the Polish section of the Vatican's Secretary of State, has revealed to the Polish Catholic news agency KAI that a book by Pope John Paul II is "being edited" and ready for publication.
The book, dealing with issues of philosophy and existence, "seems…already ripe for publication," said Fr. Ptasznik; but he also explained that it is still in the editing stages.
"It is a long process and you should not expect it to be published in the immediate future," he added. "As for its content, I can only say that reports that it is mostly about the problems of totalitarianism are not true," he said.
"It is an open secret that years ago Father Jozef Tischner suggested to the sovereign Pontiff an interview on philosophical and existential themes," Fr. Ptasznik also told KAI.
