More on Pope John Paul II
Description from Wikipedia:
Pope John Paul II (Latin: Ioannes Paulus PP. II, Giovanni Paolo II, born Karol Józef Wojtyła ; (18 May 1920 – 2 April 2005) reigned as Pope and Sovereign of the State of the Vatican City from 16 October 1978 until his death almost 27 years later. His was the second-longest pontificate. He has been the only Polish pope, and the first non-Italian since the Dutch pontiff Adrian VI in the 1520s.
John Paul II is widely acclaimed as one of the most influential leaders of the twentieth century. He has been credited with being instrumental in bringing down communism in Eastern Europe, as well as significantly improving the Roman Catholic Church's relations with Judaism, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and Anglican Churches. While many have criticised him for his views in areas such as ordination of women, his support for Vatican II and its effect on the Liturgy, his stance on the sanctity of marriage, and his uncompromising position on issues such as contraception, others have praised him for his stances in these areas.
