Popes who are saints


 


Throughout history many of the Popes have been holy men. Indeed, of the 266 Popes up to Pope Francis, 83 are recognized as Saints and 9 as Blesseds. Included among these are the first 41 Popes. Of the first 32 popes, those who reigned during the age of Roman persecution (which formally ended in 313), fully 28 were martyrs.

Antipopes

  The existence of antipopes is one of the most unusual features of Church history. The first to be declared Pope, but be considered invalidly elected at the time or by history was St. Hippolytus, who disagreed with the Pope of the day but was later reconciled and died for the faith. Most antipopes have come about due to the intrigues of cardinals, secular princes or Roman nobility. ANTIPOPE (ALLEGED REIGN) ST.
