　　Pope John Paul II was born as Karol Jzef Wojty?a 18 May 1920. He was the only Polish Pope, and was the first non-Italian Pope since Dutch Pope Adrian VI in the 1520s. John Paul II has been widely acclaimed as one of the most influential leaders of the twentieth century. It is generally agreed that he was instrumental in ending communism in his native Poland and eventually all of Europe.
