Pope John Paul II.
Makes two of us.
Actually had an extended one on one conversation with him. I’m not catholic, but JPII seemed like a decent guy. We were guests of the Swiss guard. Served with some of them overseas. They arranged the meeting.

Waaaayyyy cooler than my story. I was on a college “study” trip. We had an audience with the pope. Which meant our group was in a large auditorium with about 500 others. JPII, who spoke a ton of languages, would welcome each group in their language (if he spoke it). He then gave a brief scripture lesson. Then he went up & down the isles & the luckiest people would get a hand touch/grab. I’m 6’7” tall & so I allowed a couple of short nuns to get in front of me. I just reached over them & got a touch. I pray that I will never forget that moment.
