Pope John Paul II

Summary:

"Habemus Papam", we have a new pope!

With these words began in 1978 one of the longest pontificates in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. For the second time in only two months, the College of Cardinals had chosen a new leader. Born Karol Jozef Wojtyla, on May 18, 1920, in Wadowice, Poland, Pope John Paul II was the first elected non-Italian pope in over 450 years, the first Slavic and the first pope from a communist country.

From his humble beginnings in war-torn Poland, to the rarely seen footage from the prison cell of his would-be assassin, to the grand and ever-growing World Youth Day celebrations, this DVD will take you through a most inspiring story.
