Johannes Paul II
Johannes Paul II was the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church from 1978 until his death in 2005, known for his charismatic presence and significant influence on both the Church and global politics. He was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years and played a crucial role in the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, particularly in his native Poland. His papacy was marked by extensive travel, interfaith dialogue, and a focus on human rights, as well as a strong stance against abortion and euthanasia. He was canonized as a saint in 2014.
