VATICAN-RELIGION-POPE-JOHN-SAINT-FILES
(FILES) - A file picture taken on February 03, 1986 shows Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II waving to well-wishers, at the Nirmal Hriday Home, in Kolkata. Pope John Paul II, who the Vatican said on September 30, 2013 will be made a saint in April 2014 along with John XXIII, was an inspirational figure who helped topple communism but alienated many with his conservative views. The first non-Italian pope in more than 400 years, and the first from eastern Europe, Polish Karol Wojtyla was immensely popular, eschewing the pomp that surrounded his predecessors and seeking contact with ordinary people. The pontiff, who died in 2005, was beatified in May 2011, giving him the status of "blessed" for the world's 1.2 billion Catholics and placing him one step away from sainthood.
