| Description | Pope John Paul Hits Longevity Milestone
The Honolulu Advertiser
He's already the most-traveled pope, visiting 129 foreign countries. And he's made more saints than all his predecessors over the last 500 years combined. But on Sunday, Pope John Paul II added another milestone to his career, becoming the third longest-serving pontiff in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. The Vatican lists St. Peter, the first pope, as serving from A.D. 30 to 64 or 67 - a total of either 34 or 37 years. Second on the longevity list is Pius IX, who served 31 years, seven months and 22 days until Feb. 7, 1878. |
