Pope Saint John II, whose 26-year reign ended in 2005, has been fast-tracked to sainthood in just nine years. Many among the huge crowds that gathered as he lay dying cried out “Santo subito”, which means “sainthood now”.
Pope John Paul II was born Karol Józef Wojtyla on May 18,1920,in Wadowice,Poland.He was ordained in 1946, became the bishop of Ombi in 1958, and became the archbishop of Krakow in 1964. He was made a cardinal by Pope Paul VI in 1967, and in 1978 became the first non-Italian pope in more than 400 years.
Pope John Paul II was the second longest-serving pope in modern history after Pope Pius IX, who served for nearly 32 years from 1846 to 1878. Born in Poland, John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope since the Dutch Pope Adrian VI, who served from 1522 to 1523. John Paul II’s cause for canonization commenced in 2005 one month after his death with the traditional five-year waiting period waived.
The official sainthood ceremony, held on April 27, 2014, brought together four popes. Pope Francis led the event to elevate Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII to sainthood, which was also attended by Francis’s predecessor Emeritus Pope Benedict.
