The life
Pope John Paul II, born Karol Jozef Wojtyla, was a Polish Catholic cleric who served as bishop of Rome and head of the Catholic Church from 1978 until his death in 2005.
Before becoming pope, he studied, worked and trained for the priesthood under Nazi occupation, then became auxiliary bishop, archbishop of Krakow and cardinal. His papacy was marked by extensive travel, anti-communist influence, interreligious outreach, conservative Catholic teaching and later criticism over the handling of clerical sexual abuse.
He was beatified in 2011 and canonized by Pope Francis in 2014.
