Quotes by Pope John Paul II
Pope John Paul II (1920–2005) — Papst · Katholisch · Vatikanstadt
Johannes Paul II. (bürgerlich Karol Wojtyła) war ein polnischer Geistlicher und von 1978 bis 2005 Oberhaupt der römisch-katholischen Kirche im Vatikan. Er erlangte historische Bedeutung durch seinen Beitrag zum Ende des Kommunismus in Osteuropa, seine Katechesen zur „Theologie des Leibes“ sowie eine strikt konservative Morallehre. Für Bibelleser bietet sein Werk Impulse zur christlichen Anthropologie und zum Schutz des menschlichen Lebens, während sein Pontifikat heute zugleich wegen des institutionellen Umgangs mit Missbrauchsfällen kritisch hinterfragt wird.
