Blessed paul vi biography
•
Paul VI is the 262nd man to serve as the leader of the Catholic Church and the sixth man to take the papal name of Paul. Born Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini in 1897, he ascended to the papacy in 1963.
His pontificate, which lasted until his death in 1978, was marked by his efforts to implement the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, his groundbreaking travels as the first “Pilgrim Pope,” and his diplomatic initiatives to promote peace during the Cold War era.
Paul VI’s legacy includes his encyclicals on social issues, his reform of the Roman Curia, and his navigation of the complex cultural and societal shifts of the 1960s and 1970s.
