Karol Wojtyla
Karol Wojtyla, known as Pope John Paul II, was the first non-Italian pope in over 450 years and served from 1978 until his death in 2005. He was a significant figure in the Catholic Church, known for his emphasis on human rights, interfaith dialogue, and his role in the fall of communism in Eastern Europe. Throughout his papacy, he faced numerous health challenges, including significant hospitalizations at the Agostino Gemelli Hospital in Rome, where he humorously referred to it as a 'third Vatican' due to his frequent visits.
Born on May 18, 1920 (104 years old)
