Marcus-Clemens II enters seventeenth year of his pontificate. Celebrations will take place in St.Peter and Paul in Dominici on Thursday.
The pope, born in Miedzymorze as Mieszko Krzyżewski-Matejko and uncle of the current King, was elected on 12 november 1992. He adopted the name of Marcus-Clemens I out of respect for the achievements of this pope.
Both Marcus-Clemens I and II were not-francophone, breaking a 300-year old tradition. They both had to deal with implementing the decisions of the Dominici II concilium, changing society and communism. Marcus-Clemens II has taken a more traditional and conservative position in church matters during the years.
The pope, now 84, is still in good health.
