John Paul II.

Blessed John Paul II (Latin Ioannes Paulus, Italian Giovanni Paolo, proper name Karol Józef Wojtyła, 18 May 1920 Wadowice - 2 April 2005 Vatican City) was a Polish Catholic cleric, auxiliary bishop (1958-1963) and archbishop (1963 to 1978) of Kraków, cardinal from 1967 and pope from 16 October 1978 until his death.

As pope, he played a major role in world politics, and is credited with bringing about the collapse of the communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as improving the Catholic Church's relations with Judaism and the Eastern and Anglican churches. During his pontificate he visited 129 countries, more than any of his predecessors. As Pope, he gave much encouragement to Marian veneration and emphasized the vocation to holiness. He canonized and beatified more people than all his predecessors combined.

He also built on the teachings of his predecessors on sexual morality and the protection of human life. Many times, especially in his catecheses and in the encyclical Evangelium vitae, he clearly reaffirmed the traditional Church position of the moral impermissibility of abortion, contraception and euthanasia. Among the many persons canonized and beatified by him were also several Czech men and women: St. Agnes of Bohemia, St. Zdislava of Lemberg and St. John Sarkander among the canonized, Bl. Marie Antonina Kratochvílová, Bl. Marie Restituta Kafková, Bl. Methodius Dominik Trčka and Bl. Emperor and King Charles I among the beatified.
