Pope John XXIII, who convened the Vatican II council in the 1960s, will also be declared a saint, the Vatican said
No date has been announced for the canonization ceremony.
John XXIII was famed for calling the Second Vatican Council in 1962, which ushered in great changes in the Roman Catholic Church's relationship with the modern world.
He was pope from 1958 to 1963.
Despite being so beloved, John Paul II didn't live up to expectations at a crucial moment in the church's history, as revelations of sexual abuse scandals involving thousands Catholic priests erupted across the world in the early 2000s, critics say.
