Beloved by millions of Catholics around the world for his tireless service to God and unwavering humanity, Karel Wojtyla -- the first Eastern European pope -- provided exactly the sense of authority and leadership that the church needed in such uncertain times. A man who chose to lead by example, Wojtyla's devotion to the church also inspired an entire generation of Catholics to lead a humble life of service and retain high moral standards. In his lifelong quest to re-establish the papacy as a shining example of spirituality, Wojtyla gained the respect of spiritual leaders from all cultures. Now join Geoffrey Palmer as he looks back on Wojtyla's life of spiritual service and pays tribute to the man whose devotion to the church knew no bounds.
