Just what isthe name of the Polish state that he was born in?-- Tdxiang 06:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Correction, Wadowice is a small city in Poland's mountain region!
Right, and Wadowice (City) is in "Małopolskie" State, it's where the Kraków is. pl:user:MichuNeo
I have just come to this page, after doing some serious rewriting of the article. The fact that it needed attention was drawn to my notice because it is the featured article of the day!!!
How can it possibly be a featured article, when in 2007 a competent editor wrote the comments that were made above, but the article wasn't fixed!?
I've done quite a lot to it, but not all the things suggested here.
The stuff about Pentecost was a total shermozzle. Did anyone understand what was meant? It was all terribly theoretical and of very little significance to the majority of human beings, even devout catholics.
This is what it means.
(I hope somebody finds this explanation enlightening)

Hello there, this article has just been demoted from VGA (to regular article). I think JP2 was an important person, and having the article at VGA again could be helpful (because he was also very well known beyond Christianity). So the basic questions:
"The last non-Italian pope was Pope Adrian VI, who died in 1523," it sez here.
"Italy" has only existed since the nineteenth century, and even today very many of the people born "there" identify themselves as Etruscan, Neapolitan, etc. etc.
