Pope John Paul II was elected to the papacy on this day in history, Oct. 16, 1978. The first Polish pope was also the first non-Italian elected pope in four centuries.
Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyła was elected pope and took the regnal name 'Pope John Paul II' on this day in history, Oct. 16, 1978. The election of John Paul II marked the first time a non-Italian had been selected to lead the Catholic Church in over 400 years. He was elected on the eighth ballot during the second conclave held in the year 1978, following the death of Pope John Paul I just over a month into that pope's reign.
Born as Karol Józef Wojtyła in Wadowice, Poland, on May 18, 1920, the future pope was the youngest of the three children of Karol Wojtyła and Emilia Kaczorowska, notes his official biography on the Vatican website. As a child and young adult, John Paul II was heavily involved in theater, even helping to organize a clandestine theater group, said the Vatican. John Paul II's early life was marked by tragedy.
John Paul II was beatified on May 1, 2011, by his successor, Pope Benedict XVI. He was then canonized, or officially declared a saint in the Catholic Church, by Pope Francis, along with his predecessor Pope John XIII, on April 27, 2014. For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle.
