Святой Иоа́нн Па́вел II — папа римский, предстоятель Римско-католической церкви с 16 октября 1978 по 2 апреля 2005 года. Беатифицирован 1 мая 2011 года папой римским Бенедиктом XVI. Канонизирован 27 апреля 2014 года папой римским Франциском и сослужившим ему папой на покое Бенедиктом.
В 1978 году 264-й папа Иоанн Павел II стал первым римским папой неитальянского происхождения, избранным за последние 455 лет , одним из самых молодых понтификов в истории и первым папой славянского происхождения. Однако есть версия, что Иоанн Павел II был вторым понтификом-славянином: возможно, первым папой славянского происхождения являлся Сикст V .
По длительности своего понтификата он уступает только Апостолу Петру и папе Пию IX . Преемником Иоанна Павла II стал немецкий кардинал Йозеф Ратцингер, принявший имя Бенедикт XVI.

„Every truth—if it really is truth—presents itself as universal, even if it is not the whole truth. If something is true, then it must be true for all people and at all times.“

„Quite apart from the fact that it conflicts with the demands and the content of the word of God, nihilism is a denial of the humanity and of the very identity of the human being. It should never be forgotten that the neglect of being inevitably leads to losing touch with objective truth and therefore with the very ground of human dignity.“

„Once the truth is denied to human beings, it is pure illusion to try to set them free. Truth and freedom either go together hand in hand or together they perish in misery.“

„The Jewish religion is not extrinsic, but in a certain way intrinsic to our own religion. Therefore, we have a relationship which we do not have with any other religion. You are our dearly beloved brothers, and, in a certain way, it can be said that you are our elder brothers.“

„faith and reason “mutually support each other”; each influences the other, as they offer to each other a purifying critique and a stimulus to pursue the search for deeper understanding“
