† Who was St. John Paul II? †
St. John Paul II was a Polish priest, philosopher, and pope who led the Catholic Church from 1978 until his death in 2005, one of the longest pontificates in history. Born Karol Wojtyła in Wadowice, Poland, in 1920, he lived through Nazi occupation and Communist rule before becoming the first non-Italian pope in more than 450 years. During his papacy he visited 129 countries, played a key role in the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe, and personally forgave the man who tried to assassinate him in 1981. He also promulgated the Catechism of the Catholic Church, added the Luminous Mysteries to the Rosary, established Divine Mercy Sunday, and founded World Youth Day.
