Karol Josef Wojtyla, nombre verdadero del recordado Papa, es con seguridad una de las figuras más queridas e importantes del Siglo XX. Pocos como él tuvieron el carisma, la persistencia y la vitalidad para hacer de la debilitada Iglesia Católica, un movimiento de alcance religioso mundial. Accesible, conciliador y un talento de la diplomacia espiritual, su legado aún persiste en el corazón de sus fieles.
