Pope Benedict XVI

The long papacy of Karol Wojtyla (1978-2005) was extremely significant for the building of positive relations between Jews and Christians. His friendships with Jews beginning from his boyhood in Poland produced a deeply personal commitment to promoting Christian-Jewish reconciliation, as can be seen from the large number of relevant texts listed below. He was canonized a saint by Pope Francis on April 27, 2014.
