I noticed that, despite being dated this year, the article claims that Poland still has a communist government, though that may be an error for saying that it had one at the time Reagan did a deal with the Vatican to provide CIA information.

Wiki (1) says clearly that Poland is now a post communist and democratic multi -party state.

(1) sorry, can't give a link, since an upgrade was forced on me under threat of losing my Internet connection, the new browser seems no longer to have a cut and paste function.

You are correct that Poland no longer has a communist government, they haven't in a long time. The article is saying that when Pope John II became Pope, Poland had a communist government.
