Politician Ann Widdecombe chooses Pope John Paul II.
Ann Widdecombe is famous for her opposition to women priests. "You might as well ask me when Martians will start appearing at the end of my garden," she once said.
So it is no surprise to find that Ann has chosen someone who felt just as strongly on the matter, Pope John Paul II.
Malachi O'Doherty, author of "I was a Teenage Catholic", joins Ann and presenter, Matthew Parris.
Producer: Miles Warde
