What is the one legacy John Paul II wanted?

Pope John Paul II desired to be remembered as the pope of the family, according to Pope Francis. During the canonization of John Paul II on April 27, 2014, Pope Francis used this designation to describe his predecessor.

The theme of marriage and family life appeared throughout the career of Karol Wojtyla, from his time as a priest to his papacy. As a playwright, he wrote several works centered on these subjects, including the play The Jeweler’s Shop. His final play, The Radiation of Fatherhood, focused on psychological and metaphysical aspects of family and was completed while he served as a bishop in Poland during the Second Vatican Council.
