Karol Jozef Wojtyla was loved by millions of people around the world. However, they didn’t know him by his given name. They knew him as Pope John Paul II, the head of the Catholic Church and Vatican City. Today in 2005, his 26 years of leadership ended when he died of heart failure. John Paul II had been the first non-Italian pope since the 1520s. He is given credit for many important achievements, such as having a part in stopping the spread of communism in Europe. Pope John Paul II’s caring and work brought him respect from Catholics and non-Catholics alike around the world.
卡羅爾.約澤夫.沃 伊蒂瓦受到全球數百萬人的愛戴,但他原本的名字並不為人熟知。他以身為天主教會和梵蒂岡的領袖--教宗若望.保祿二世(右圖,資料照片)--而廣為人知。 2005年的今天,他死於心臟衰竭,結束了26年的領導生涯。若望.保祿二世是自1520年代以來,首位非義大利籍的教宗。人們認為有許多重要的成就都要 歸功於他,像是發揮影響力遏止共產主義蔓延全歐洲等。教宗若望.保祿二世的愛心和事蹟,使得世界上的天主教徒及非天主教徒都非常尊敬他。
