Pope, saint, spiritual father to millions. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his May 18, 1920 birthday on May 18 this year, John Paul II received a special post-mortem birthday gift: a new center for culture in his name, opened at the Angelicum University in Rome.
John Paul II’s epochal papacy embraced all dimensions of human life: the value of human nature; the special attention to the genius of women; the pro-life struggle; fighting injustice and poverty; his attention to the family, art, and culture in general. His message is a witness and fearless testimony of Christian life.
