English Description:

Pope Saint John Paul II (Latin: Ioannes Paulus II; Italian: Giovanni Paolo II; Polish: Jan Paweł II; born Karol Józef Wojtyła [ˈkarɔl ˈjuzɛv vɔjˈtɨwa]; 18 May 1920 – 2 April 2005) was the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State from 1978 until his death in 2005. He was elected pope by the second papal conclave of 1978, which was called after Pope John Paul I, who had been elected in August to succeed Pope Paul VI, died after 33 days. Cardinal Wojtyła was elected on the third day of the conclave and adopted the name of his predecessor in tribute to him. John Paul II is recognised as helping to end Communist rule in his native Poland and eventually all of Eastern Europe, Including Central and Southeast Europe.

John Paul II significantly improved the Catholic Church's relations with Judaism, Islam, and the Eastern Orthodox Church. He upheld the Church's teachings on such matters as the right to life, artificial contraception, the ordination of women, and a celibate clergy, and although he supported the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, he was seen as generally conservative in their interpretation. He was one of the most travelled world leaders in history, visiting 129 countries during his pontificate. As part of his special emphasis on the universal call to holiness, he beatified 1,340 and canonised 483 people, more than the combined tally of his predecessors during the preceding five centuries. By the time of his death, he had named most of the College of Cardinals, consecrated or co-consecrated many of the world's bishops, and ordained many priests

Hungarian Summary:

II.János Pál Pápa apostoli konstitúciója az Apostoli Szék üresedéséről és a Római Pápa megválasztásáról. "Ha én ma ezzel a témával foglalkozom, annak oka nem az, hogy kevésre becsülöm a meglévő szabályokat, melyeket épp ellenkezőleg, nagyra becsülök és nagyrészt meg akarok erősíteni, legalábbis lényegüket és az alapelveket, melyekre épülnek. Ami erre a lépésre késztet, az egyrészt a tudat, hogy az Egyház megváltozott körülmények között él, másrészt a szükséglet, hogy figyelembe kell venni az egyházi törvény általános felülvizsgálatát, mely szerencsésen megtörtént az összes püspök tetszése mellett előbb az Egyházi Törvénykönyv, majd a Keleti Egyházak Törvénykönyve közzétételével és kihirdetésével."
