Very true points... But knowing JPII, he'd go into the areas that are in NATO Hands with an armed escort of the Swiss Guard (thus providing a way that he'd not get accidentally killed by either side). JPII was a very... well, headstrong man. Even if not going into Poland he could have gone into East Germany on the Polish-E.German border speaking at rallies and the like.
Hell, this would actually work good for an adventure. That when the nukes started flying he was doing his tour and was hustled away for his safety. BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHERE he was hustled too. Only the Swiss Guard who got him to safety knows exactly where he is.

Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
