These are the sources from which the first six articles
published in this blog were based upon. Those six articles
covered the life and work of John Paul II from 1920-1990. The
seventh article, which is coming soon, will cover the life of
his missionary pontificate during the years 1991-1995.

After learning how the Pope was able to resolve the political
conflict between Solidarity and the Jaruzelski regime, the
eventual implosion of the Soviet communist system, and the
crackdown on dissident theologians in Catholic universities
(during his 1986-1990 pontificate), we will now examine the
highlights of his pontificate from 1991-1995. We are called
to remember that the World Youth Day (1995) in Manila, gathered
the greatest number of participants and set the record for the
biggest attended World Youth Day event so far (since the Pope
started the tradition in Rome).
