002. 놀라운 선택?

     SURPRISING CHOICE?

When he was elected to the papacy in 1978, Pope John Paul II was the first non-Italian pontiff in 455 years. He came from Poland -- a country, at the time, with a Marxist and atheist government.

  1978년 교황직에 선출되었을 때, 교황 요한 바오로 2세는 455년만에 첫번째 비-이탈리아인 교황이었습니다.  그는 폴란드 -- 당시 막시스트와 무신론을 신봉하는 정부의 나라 -- 출신이었습니다.

004. 사도적 여행을 가장 많이 한...

   MOST TRAVELED

John Paul II was the most widely traveled pontiff ever, having visited 118 countries in all the continents except Antarctica. By the time he made his historic visit to Cuba in early 1998, he had logged more than 600,000 miles of travel.

  요한 바오로 2세는 역대 교황 중 가장 널리 전도 여행을 하여 남극 지방을 제외한 118여 개국에 이르는 국가들을 방문하였습니다.  1998년 역사적인 쿠바 방문을 할 당시, 그는 600,000 마일 이상의 거리를 갱신하고 있었습니다.

006. 물질적인 세상 속에서

  IT’S A MATERIAL WORLD

He served as Pope in a material world...and there are souvenirs galore to prove it. Water bottles, miracle mugs, hats, paper dolls and t-shirts. All were created to commemorate papal visits ... and papal blessings. His Holiness may have taken a vow of poverty...but, to vendors, his likeness was something to cash in on.

008.REACHING OUT

In 1986, Pope John Paul II became the first pope to visit a Jewish synagogue. There he spoke of how he deplored the "hatred and persecution" of the Jews throughout the centuries. In 1993, the pope presided over the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Vatican and Israel.

009. Breaking the Barriers

010. POLITICAL IMPACT

Eight months after he was elected Pope, the pontiff went to Poland, where the Communists were still in control. His visit encouraged the rise of the labor movement known as Solidarity and chipped away at the wall of communism in that predominantly Catholic country.

011. Testing the Waters

012.TECHNO-SAVVY POPE

While standing firm on religious doctrine as old as the Bible, the Pope was the first Pontiff to also embrace 20th Century technology as a way to evangelize. In addition to weekly radio broadcasts, regularly televised services, a recording of his most popular masses and a 900 number, he was the first pontiff to have a website.

013. Top of the World

014. TOP OF THE CHARTS

Pope John Paul II is the first pope to become an international best-selling author. His 1994 release of "Crossing the Threshold of Hope" was received with mixed critical reviews, but it garnered a six million dollar publishing deal, with the money going to the church.

015. Touching the World

016. OUT OF REACH

Only one major country remains outside the pope’s reach - China. China refuses to recognize the Roman Catholic church, and a papal visit to China is impossible as long as the Vatican continues to give diplomatic recognition to Taiwan.

017. The Language of Rituals

018. HOW MANY WAYS CAN YOU SAY POPE?

The pope’s ability to reach people was aided in large part by his ability to speak several languages. Born into a Polish-speaking home, the pope began learning German at age ten; Latin at age 13; and Greek at age 14. By the time he became pontiff, the pope had mastered eight languages.

019. A Prayer to Mary

020.WHERE ARE THE WOMEN?

In May 1994, the pontiff disappointed and outraged a number of Catholics by issuing a stern "no" to the ordination of women. His argument? That Christ only appointed males as his apostles. At a time when the number of men entering, and remaining, in the priesthood was at an all-time low, he was criticized by even some of his strongest supporters as being closed-minded. But John Paul II insisted "doctrine cannot be based on public opinion."
