How did Pope John Paul II change Europe?
A:In some ways, Pope John Paul II opened the Catholic Church to the outside world. He was the first pope to leave Italy since 1809, and the first to visit the Americas, Africa, Oceania and Asia as pope. So one of his legacies is that the Vatican would become less insular in its view of the world. He apologised for some of the past wrongs committed by the Catholic Church, once again making the Church a little less defensive in protecting its version of history.His legacy must also include his failure to change and reform the Church. Pope John Paul II became pope when the two great evils of clerical paedophilia and systemic corruption within the Catholic Church were becoming known. He had the responsibility to lead the Church out of this mire, but ultimately he failed.
