John Paul II |
Born 18 May 1920 in Wadowice, Poland. In his early days Karol Wojtyła was a poet, an actor, and a conscripted labourer during the Second World War. As the outspoken bishop of Krakov, he was a brilliant theologian and writer. When he was elected, he was the first non-Italian Pope in over four centuries. Throughout his pontificate, John Paul II fought communism, unbridled capitalism, and political oppression. Always he preached peace. His was a papacy of superlatives:
In addition, he wrote 12 encyclicals and published a new catechism. He survived an assassination attempt early in his pontificate (1981). In his later years, he suffered greatly from Parkinson's disease. |
