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. His papacy was marked by his extensive travels, promotion of human rights, and strong stance against communism, particularly in his native Poland. His charismatic leadership and deep spirituality made him a beloved figure worldwide, and he was canonized as a saint in 2014.
