Jean-Paul II
Jean-Paul II, born Karol Józef Wojtyła in 1920, served as pope from 1978 until his death in 2005, becoming one of the most influential leaders in modern history. He was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years and was known for his efforts to improve the Catholic Church's relations with Judaism, Islam, and the Eastern Orthodox Church.
