The charge in the right bottom of the arms looks a bit like Pope
John Paul II's personal arms. Any connection?

I'm afraid no, none whatsoever. The Coat of Arms "Dębno" dates back to 1241 AD
and the Mongol invasion of Batu Khan. The heraldic charge - "łękawica"
- (two chevronels inverted Argent conjoined in fess) has its origins, probably,
in the Tatar tamgas.
The initial "M" in the Pope John Paul II Coat of Arms signifies His special
devotion to Virgin Mary.
