## Bio

Born Giovanni Battista Montini in Concesio in 1897, he spent three decades in the Vatican's diplomatic corps, becoming the indispensable advisor to Pius XII before being named Archbishop of Milan in 1954. Elevated to cardinal in 1958, he was elected pope in 1963 with near-unanimous support and immediately reconvened the suspended Second Vatican Council, closing it in 1965 and spending the rest of his papacy implementing its sweeping reforms against conflicting pressures within the Church. He became the first pope in over a century to leave Italy, flying to Jordan in 1964, and pushed for wealth redistribution from the developed world to the Third World. His 1968 encyclical Humanae vitae, rejecting artificial contraception, became one of the most contested documents in modern Catholic history. He died in 1978 and was canonized forty years later.
