Hailing from Senegal, the Amazon, India, and Hawai\u2019i, they bring perspective and solutions from the poor, the indigenous, the youth, and wildlife into a conversation with Pope Francis himself.

Let&#8217;s get to it.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Benedict XV (1914 &#8211; 1922): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This papacy we have chosen to include, because he decided that the Church would remain neutral during World War I. This decision caused controversy and anger on both sides.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This decision caused controversy and anger on both sides.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pius XI (1922 &#8211; 1939): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pope Pius XI is known as the &#8220;pope of agreements&#8221; because he signed many during his papacy. Among the many agreements it decided to sign, <\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>John XXIII (1958 &#8211; 1963): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is certainly one of the most loved and remembered figures. Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli was respected and listened to, both inside and outside the Church, for his closeness and his friendly and dialoguing character. His mediation between the USSR and the USA was decisive in finding a solution to the Missile Crisis, one of the most critical moments of the last 100 years. In the ecclesiastical field, his greatest contribution was the convocation of the Second Vatican Council, a revolution in the strict norms of the Church aimed at bringing it closer to the faithful and to the new world.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>John Paul II (1978 &#8211; 2005): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Karol J\u00f3zef Wojtyla, of Polish origin, was the youngest pope of the 20th century. His pontificate lasted 27 years, the third longest in history. He played a decisive role in the fall of Communism and in the reconciliation of the Catholic Church with other religions. He was a popular and charismatic pope, with great communicative ability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Benedict XVI (2005 &#8211; 2013): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although he performed many laudable actions, we have chosen to name Benedict XVI at this point because he was the first Pope to resign from the Pontificate of the Catholic Church in over 500 years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Franciscan I (2013 &#8211; Present):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the first American and Spanish-speaking Pope. He also has the honor of being the first Jesuit pope. Since the day of his election, his papacy has been uncomfortable for many ecclesiastical and political circles, due to his bold stances on controversial issues such as abortion, the environment, capitalism, immigration or gay marriage&#8230; <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before coming to the end we want you to enjoy a short but beautiful video that compiles the voice of the last 8 popes that the church has had. Their voices, while very different from each other, all convey the calm and kindness necessary for the importance of her figure. Perhaps some beautiful memories of a mass given by them will come to your mind, which will hopefully give you the light and hope you need.

It starts with Saint Peter and ends with Pope Francis. The video does not include the date of death, as most popes passed away at the end of their pontificate. Q&amp;A : 1 - Why do so many early-century popes resemble each other? Over time, collections of papal portraits have accumulated, often showing great similarities between popes of the early centuries. These portraits were created long after their lifetimes and are based on the features traditionally attributed to them. 2 - What is the meaning of St., Bl. and Ven.? These abbreviations indicate the canonization status of the Popes: St. for &quot;Saint&quot;, Bl. for &quot;Blessed&quot;, and Ven. for &quot;Venerable&quot;. These titles reflect different stages of recognition within the Catholic Church, honoring individuals who are venerated either universally or locally, or recognized for their heroic virtues. The number shown is not the Pope\u2019s ordinal number, but the number of the pontificate. To create the video, I used the information from the following Wikipedia list, excluding the counter-popes: https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_popes This list corresponds to the official list of popes from the Vatican: https:\/\/www.vatican.va\/content\/vatican\/en\/holy-father.index.html Music by Phoenix &amp; Bergersen: Sariel, Magika, Release Me, Never Back Down, For the Win\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And having seen the video, we end here this article on the most important figure of the Church.
