Bishop of Krakow Karol Wojtyla, the future Pope John Paul II, is pictured in this undated photo. Photo: OSV News. On October 22, we celebrate the feast of St John Paul II. While his image as Pope is iconic, his early life is less well known, making Karol, an exceptionally popular biography of the even more popular Karol Wojtyła, later known as Pope St John Paul II, a very useful film, as well as a good one.
