John Paul II: Doctor of the Church?

The President of the Polish Bishops Conference has asked Pope Francis to proclaim St John Paul II a Doctor of the Church and Patron of Europe. Archbishop Stanisław Gądecki said the late pope’s reign was “filled with groundbreaking decisions and significant events that changed the face of the papacy and influenced the course of European and world history.” [1]
