Catholic Legends by Charles River Charles River Editors Pdf

*Includes pictures of the Pope and important people, places, and events in his life. *Includes a bibliography of the Pope's works and works about him for further reading. A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' Catholic Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of the Church's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. The 20th century had no shortage of influential leaders, both good and bad. But while dictators, generals, and presidents came and went, the last quarter of the 20th century could rely on one thing: the papacy of Blessed Pope John Paul II. In becoming one of Catholicism's most popular leaders, and one shortly destined for sainthood, John Paul II indeed became one of the most famous and influential men of the 20th century. The first pope in centuries to not hail from Italy, John Paul II was responsible for a global outreach of epic proportions that brought him to over 100 countries, helped end communism in Europe, and brought people of different faiths closer together than ever before. It's often said that nobody in history has been seen and viewed in person by more people, an amazing feat for a man of humble origins born in Poland before World War II, a place that continues to especially venerate him today. Catholic Legends: The Life and Legacy of Blessed Pope John Paul II looks at the life and legacy of John Paul II, but it also humanizes the man born Karol Jozef Wojtyla and provides a thorough assessment of his nearly 30 year papacy. Along with pictures of other important people, places and events in his life, you will learn about Pope John Paul II like you never have before, in no time at all.

The Life and Legacy of Pope John Paul II by Wyatt North Pdf

On July 5, Pope Francis approved John Paul for sainthood, saying that Pope John XXIII and John Paul II will be canonized together. The date has not yet been established, although December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception has been suggested. Irrespective of the details, John Paul's canonization appears imminent. From Poland, John Paul's longtime private secretary, Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, rejoiced at the news. "I thank God that I will live to see the elevation to sainthood the person who I served with love to the last beating of his heart," he stated. Abraham Foxman, as director of the Jewish organization the Anti-Defamation League, received four audiences with Pope John Paul. He spoke for John Paul's numerous supporters when he said, "For many of us Pope John Paul is already a saint, this just formalizes it." John Paul's pontificate lasted nearly twenty-seven years, one of the longest in papal history. During that time he had an unprecedented amount of contact with the public, including Catholics, non-Catholics, and foreign leaders. He made 104 pastoral visits outside Italy, and 146 within. The Vatican estimates that more than 17.6 million pilgrims participated in his regular Wednesday general audiences alone. He made 38 official visits and met with government leaders on 984 different occasions.

Pope John Paul II: An Intimate Life by Caroline Pigozzi Pdf

This behind-the-scenes perspective offers a unique opportunity to experience Pope John Paul II's character and reign, as well as a look at the inner workings of the Vatican. French journalist Caroline Pigozzi discovered a man both awe-inspiring and surprisingly warm and generous. Passionately prayerful and unimpressed by pomp and celebrity, John Paul II was the most-traveled and perhaps the most popular of the popes to date: a people's pope. Pigozzi reveals the intimate details of his daily life, his sometimes surprising philosophies, his revolutionary desire for accessibility to ordinary people, and his relentless drive to unify the church. This book unveils, in a friendly and richly informative way, a close-up of the man whose "eyes radiated infinite goodness" and whose life touched so many.

John Paul II by Robert Gascoigne Pdf

John Paul II was our Pope for nearly three decades. He was the only Pope an entire generation knew. April 2007 will mark the second anniversary of his death. This book has its origin in public forums presented in Sydney and Melbourne in mid 2005. These events were organised to mark the Pope¿s passing by reflecting on different facets of his legacy and witness. The book gives the reader an appreciation of the range and significance of John Paul II¿s papacy, and demonstrates the extraordinary scope of his activity and thought, both by way of reflection on John Paul¿s writings and by consideration of his life, travels and many significant symbolic acts and gestures. The book is made up of four sections reflecting key dimensions of John Paul¿s development, legacy and witness. They are: John Paul II: His Polish Background and Personal Faith; Human Dignity, Ethics and Society; The Church and its Sacramental Life; The Depth and Range of John Paul II¿s Teaching and Reflection. The contributors are: Robert Gascoigne (Editor); Sandra Carroll, Austin Cooper OMI, Tim Costelloe SDB, Peter Cross, Matthew Del Nevo, Bruce Duncan CSsR, Robert Gascoigne, Gerald Gleeson, Anne Hunt OAM, Anthony Kelly CSsR, Richard Lennan, Neil Ormerod, Veronica Rosier OP, Tracey Rowland, and Richard Wade.
