Abstract

This article recalls the circumstances that brought about the election of Cardinal Karol Wojtyla a pope. The author focuses on the statistics of this great pontificate and tackles the phenomenon of John Paul II who was the maker and the recipient of his mass media success. As an evangelising pilgrim, John Paul II had soon exposed himself to as much veneration as criticism worldwide.

Keywords:

Pope John Paul II, the mass media, pontificate, veneration as criticism
