When World War II had ravaged through Poland in 1942, John Paul was forced to abandon his acting and quickly adapted to living the life as an underground seminarian. During the war, John Paul was scarred for life as he grieved for his mother’s early passing, which made him devoted as a monk.

While Poland was mostly taken under Nazi Germany control, The Nazis believed Anti-Semitism was the only was that their country would be a powerful. John Paul had not believed this was the case, as it was his duty as a priest to care of his people, regardless of ethnicity or race. Professor Arthur Hertzberg from New York University quotes him as he “did a number of things which gave him among the Polish Jews who survived, the reputation of a friendly human being”. (Pr. Arthur Hertzberg, 1980s,

...olved since the time his letters were written. Of course if we look at Paul with scrutiny through the lens of our contemporary beliefs, he looks as though he lacks compassion and a desire for equality; in fact, it would appear as though he was preaching against equality. Sarah Ruden puts the highlight on the time period that Paul was actually living in to validate her thesis that Paul was actually a revolutionary. He gave options and encouraged happiness and equality for women, preached compassion for slaves, and argued against an aggressive tradition in Roman society. Taking a look at his writing with the background information that Ruden provides a more insightful look at the apostle’s teachings, which was exactly her goal.

...rsued this moral throughout his time as Pope. Thus, through following the works of, and Jesus’ teachings of inclusion, John XXIII has contributed to Christianity being considered a living religious tradition.
John had a strong background in the Anglican Church, “he never wavered in his own sense of loyalty. He loved the church of England dearly, gloried in its treasures, pined over its faults, and worked mightily to goad it into a deeper spirituality and into a more effective service to God” (p. 4, Abraham). John “inherited a rich theological tradition and was steeped in its way of piety and ritual. He spent most of his life in Anglican educational institutions, first as a student and then as a lecturer in Logic and Greek (p. 4, Abraham). “He was totally immersed in his church’s worship and prayer, shaped in a host of ways by its wonderful intellectual balance, ...
The New Testament teaches about who Jesus is and what he did on the earth. John wrote the last of the four gospels which recount Jesus’ life and what is to come. The gospel of John is somewhat different from the other three gospels, in that it is more symbolic and less concrete. For example, John expresses Jesus as the Passover Lamb when Matthew, Mark, and Luke do not. This gospel is showing that Christianity is moving away from the long-practiced Jewish traditions. John’s gospel can be laid out into four parts: the prologue or the incarnate word, signs of the Messiah with teachings about life in him, the farewell teaching and the passion narrative, and the epilogue or the roles of Peter and of the disciple whom Jesus loved. The Gospel of John is arguably the most
Saint Jerome Much like Saint Paul, Jerome’s sainthood began with a miracle from God. Born around 347 AD in a city called Stridon, Jerome began his high-achieving, 70 year life of devotion to God. He wasn’t baptized until he was around 15-20 years old, which goes to show that God can come into our lives at any time. This happened when he converted to Christianity in Rome. He was in Rome with a friend, Bonosus, to study rhetoric and philosophy.
John continued to fight for peace and change throughout the world. A famous poster ...
Copernicus’ father died in 1483. If he had lived, his sons would have probably had careers in commerce. However, they were sent to live with their uncle, Bishop Lucas Watzenrode of Ermland.

One of the most popular poets during the Enlightenment period was Alexander Pope. He wrote many of his poems based on satires and themes of philosophy that explored the purpose for reason. Alexander Pope was born on May 21, 1688, to Alexander and Edith Pope in London, England. His father was a wealthy linen merchant that was Catholic, this caused problems as soon as Pope was born because a Protestant was throned, making it illegal for people of the Catholic religion to hold office, practice their religion, or attend public schools (Poetry Foundation). This would cause problems for Pope’s publicity in his future career as a poet. Because of the discernment of his religion, Pope grew up in Windsor Forest, mostly self-taught, but also taught by private tutors and priests already writing poetry in his teenage years. His life was not only looked down upon because of his self-taught education and his unfavorable religion, but also
Catholic schools play an integral role in the saving mission of the Church as centres of evangelisation as evangelisation is “the mission of the Church” (Congregation for Catholic Education, 1977, para. 7). Pope Paul IV in Evangelii Nuntiandi (1975, para. 18) states that "Evangelising means to bring the Good News into all the strata of humanity, and through its influence transforming humanity from within and making it new, 'Now I am making the whole of creation new' (Revelation 21:5). But there is no new humanity if there are not first of all new persons renewed by baptism, and by lives lived according to the Gospel." As leaders of catholic schools principals play an integral role in not only the organisational and instructional leadership
