What was the mission of Pope John Paul II?

Pope John Paul II, on top of the normal missions assigned to those who are elected to the papal office, saw himself as possessing of a very particular mission, and that was to enact, correct and nurture the reforms of Vatican II. Since the changes of Vatican II membership in the Church as well as the number of religious vocations had drastically fallen away. The pope believed Vatican II was good and only needed to be correctly interpreted and applied in order to reverse these poor fruits.

John Paul II was therefore the champion of the last council, ushering in what proponents called "the New Springtime of Vatican II". Many abuses had crept in as well as conflicts regarding conciliar interpretation. Pope John Paul II sought to quell such disputes and align the regions of the world in correct application of pastoral direction.

He also saw it as his mission to use modern technology and transportation to reach the peoples of the world by visiting their countries and familiarizing himself with their customs and concerns. He also tried to reach the younger generations which showed signs of becoming alienated from religious practice and observance. To this end he encouraged many new youth projects and groups, the most popular of which has become "World Youth Day".

It was these social outreach efforts that endeared him most to the world, although God took him before he could see the ultimate conclusion of the Vatican II reforms.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
