Juan Pablo II
Pope John Paul II, who served as pope from 1978 until his death in 2005, was a significant figure in the Catholic Church and world politics. He was notable for his efforts to improve relations between different religious groups, advocate for human rights, and promote peace. His influence extended globally, and his visits, including his second trip to Venezuela in 1996, were pivotal moments in his papacy, further enhancing his legacy as a bridge-builder in a time of division.
