Pope John XXIII, affectionately called “The Good Pope”, was born to a large, poor sharecropping family. He graduated with a doctorate in theology and was ordained a priest in 1904. In 1914, he was drafted into the Italian army and served as a chaplain and stretcher-bearer. Throughout his career, he worked in many church programs, including the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, saved thousands of Jews during WWII, was named “Righteous Gentile”, served as nuncio in France, and was Apostolic delegate to Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey. In 1958, he was unexpectedly elected Pope, and in 1962, he called an ecumenical council (Vatican II). He died of stomach cancer in 1963.
