It’s amazing what can be accomplished… when you’re sick and bored. I read about every single Pope on about.com in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. One of the more interesting tidbits I picked up: a female Pope (Pope Joan) Additional Link
Also a Pope who made his grandson’s cardinals… huh? Celibacy anyone? I know it’s not breaking news many of the popes had concubines and mistresses, but I just had to chuckle at making your grandsons Cardinals… I think they were 14 and 16 if I remember correctly.
Celibacy didn’t start until around 1045AD
