Junna Nakata
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
In 1975, Junna Nakata – the head-priest at the Honsenji Temple (of the Shingon sect Daigo-ha) – requested the pontiff Pope Paul VI to say a Mass for the repose of the souls of the 1,618 men condemned as Class A, B and C war criminals, and the Pope promised to do so. Pope Paul VI died on 6 August 1978.
In 1980, Pope John Paul II kept Pope Paul VI’s word, and the Mass for 1,618 war criminals of Classes A, B and C took place in St. Peter's Basilica. Nakata attended.[1][2]
