Saint Pope John XXIII (Latin: Joannes XXIII) (†1963), affectionately known as "the Good Pope," was head of the Catholic Church from 1958 until his death. Roncalli was unexpectedly elected pope on 28 October 1958 at age 76 after eleven ballots. Pope John XXIII surprised those who expected him to be a caretaker pope by calling the historic Second Vatican Council (1962–1965), the first session opening on 11 October 1962, which is now celebrated as his feast. John XXIII made many passionate speeches during his pontificate. His views on equality were summed up in his statement, "We were all made in God's image, and thus, we are all Godly alike." He made a significant impact on the Catholic Church, opening it up to dramatic, unexpected changes promulgated at the Vatican Council and by his own dealings with other churches and nations. In international affairs, his Ostpolitik engaged in dialogue with the communist countries of Eastern Europe and reached out to the Eastern Orthodox churches. His overall goal was to modernize the Church by emphasizing its pastoral role and its necessary involvement with affairs of the state. He used the opportunity to name the first cardinals from Africa, Japan, and the Philippines. He promoted ecumenical movements in cooperation with other Christian faiths. In September 1962, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer and died eight months later on June 3, 1963. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 3 September 2000. On 5 July 2013, Pope Francis declared John XXIII a saint based on his virtuous, model lifestyle and because of the good that had come from his opening of the Second Vatican Council. He was canonized alongside Pope John Paul II on 27 April 2014.
