This profile of Pope John Paul II examines the relationship between his religious beliefs and political practices. Placing the Pope in the context of highly transformational religious leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr, Mohatma Ghandi and Desmond Tutu, Formicola argues that his vision of a higher order of politics has made him a catalyst for social change in the late 20th century - and beyond.
