Never before has a Pope had come so far to be so close to their faithful. With a life journey of a novel: a life like a rose garden filled with roses, but with many thorns. After nine years, the small 'Lolek' (Wadowice, May 18, 1920) lost her mother and at 13, his older brother. Completed high school, his family moved to Krakow and there began his studies of philosophy, interrupted by the Nazi invasion of Poland.
Signed by the Gestapo, took refuge in a garret. By day he worked in quarries and chemical company Solvay. At night, studying and saved Jewish families.

The first non-Italian pope in four centuries and the youngest of the twentieth century, with only 58 years. A leader in every rule that the first thing after the 'Habemus Papam', is launching one of the currencies most famous of his pontificate: "Be not afraid!". As pope, he leaves the doctrine held by the then Cardinal Ratzinger and the government of the Church in the Curia and he became the pastor of the world.
In the traveling Pope, who traveled 1.25 million miles in 104 trips to 129 countries. And the Pope of the record and the first time.
