Abstrakt

The author examines the circumstances and events that permitted US President Ronald Reagan to establish full diplomatic relations with the Holy See. This article investigates the ‘Holy Alliance’ between the American President and the Polish Pope, their experiences, goals, and challenges that help them to establishing collaboration between the US and the Santa Sede. Furthermore, it shows how two compatible political actors and their cooperative attempts to promote peaceful and democratic order to tame the chaos of the world stage, created a stable environment and solid grounds for Reagan’s administration to appoint the first full ambassador to the Holy See ever in American history.
