probably the pope that just died, he went to the most countries out of any other pope so I would guess he knows a lot of languages

As the head of state of the Vatican, his salary would be confidential.  Only certain orders have vows of poverty but the Pope is not one of them.  The Cardinals are known as the "princes" of the church and that is not given lightly.  It would be reasonable to suppose that his total compensation would be similar to other european heads of states.

Is the Pope Catholic?
668933
he created our current calendar\n\nOOPS that was gregory XIII not the III...the others are right...right off of wikipedia....\n\nSaint Gregory III, pope (731-741), a Syrian by birth, succeeded Gregory II in March 731. His pontificate, like that of his predecessor, was disturbed by the iconoclastic controversy in the Byzantine Empire, in which he vainly invoked the intervention of Charles Martel. Also during his reign he conferred the pallium on Saint Boniface in Germany, Willibald in Bohemia, and Bede in England carried on their most successful missionary labours. He died on November 29, 741.

Even if this supposed prophecy is true, it does not say how many popes will be after the current pope.\n\nThere are several interpretations regarding the last Popes listed by St. Malachy taken by those who believe the prophecies:\n\nRegarding whether additional Popes, not listed by St. Malachy occur between Gloria Olivae and Petrus Romanus the following differing views are held: \n\n1. Gloria Olivae is immediately followed by Petrus Romanus. \n\n2. Because no number is assigned to Petrus Romanus, he and Gloria Olivae might be one and the same pope. \n\n3. Because no number is assigned to Petrus Romanus, any number of popes could intervene between these two popes. \n\n4. Because no number is assigned to Petrus Romanus, it is also possible that he will not be an actual pope (that is, that "Peter the Roman" may take on the role of the Pope without putting on the robe of the Pope). Under this possible scenario, a catastrophe at the Vatican -- perhaps a terrorist attack -- could wipe out the top leadership of the Church during either a consistory or a conclave of the College of Cardinals. As a result, with no viable College surviving to elect a new pontiff, this particular scenario would have a surviving official of the Roman Curia succeeding to the top leadership of the Church but not as Pope. Since he would not rise to the Papacy itself but instead would become, in effect, the top caretaker of the Church, he would not need to assume a new papal name such as Peter; thus he would keep the name he has had since his birth in Italy, and that name already would be Peter (or, in Italian, Pietro). Currently (that is, as of March 2006) there is only one such candidate for Petrus Romanus within the Roman Curia. His name is Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Under-Secretary of State for Relations with States, appointed by Pope John Paul II in 2002 to serve under Archbishop Giovanni Lajolo. A native of Schiavon, Italy, Monsignor Parolin was born in January 1955. \n\n5. That the prophecies are indeed elaborate Jesuit forgeries of the 1600s. \n\nRegarding whether the Papacy ends with Petrus Romanus, the following differing views are held: \n\n1. Petrus Romanus will be the final Pope. The end of his papacy will mark either the end of the papacy, the end of the Roman Catholic Church, the Church's final triumph, and/or the end of this world (See: Apocalypse, End of the world, Armageddon, Eschatology). \n\n2. There will be additional Popes following Petrus Romanus, about which Malachy did not write. There is also the possibility that these additional popes might be considered antipopes, which could justify their omission in St. Malachy's eyes (However, several antipopes are mentioned in the Prophecy.) \n\n3. If Petrus Romanus was a later and spurious addition to the prophecy, that leaves Gloria Olivae as the last listed Pope. That could still mean that there are or are not more Popes to come.

Has to be Peter, if the question is confined to the original 12. \n\nMatt. to Rev. - Peter is mentioned 155 times and the rest of apostles combined are only mentioned 130 times. Peter is also always listed first except in 2 places.\n\nhttp://www.scripturecatholic.com/primacy_of_peter.html\n\n.

You will probably need to find a major academic library.  I doubt that the information exists in one place.  Technically a bishop I believe would cease being a member of a religious order upon election to episcopal office.  The orders are under the supervision of the episcopate.  I think you would need to find biographic sketches of each pope.  Many popes would lack a sketch.  You may be able to find them at www.newadvent.org.

Aurelius Augustinus, Augustine of Hippo, or Saint Augustine (November 13, 354 – August 28, 430) was one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. In Roman Catholicism, he is a saint and pre-eminent Doctor of the Church, and the patron of the Augustinian religious order. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fountainheads of Reformation teaching on salvation and grace. Born in Africa as the eldest son of Saint Monica, he was educated and baptized in Italy. His works—including The Confessions, which is often called the first Western autobiography—are still read around the world.

I am not Catholic or Christian but I have great respect for the man. I would argue that he was one of the finest Popes of all time and if all future Popes follow his example the world would be a better place.

The Popes are the successors of Peter. Peter was the first Christian leader of all the christians after the resurrection. He went to Rome and was the leader there for many years until he was crucified by the emperor Nero around 64 AD. All the bishops of Rome (the pope) take their authority from Jesus who  gave Peter the Authorithy to rule. Matthew 16:18-20 and John 21: 15-18

The Pope is nothing more than a Bishop (as are the Cardinals).  Just a highly elevated Bishop (much like the Archbishop is an elevated Bishop).\n\nHe is the Bishop of Rome, because that is his diocese.  There are other Bishops in Rome, to be sure.  I think the title comes from St. Peter, who was the first Bishop of Rome (before there was the Holy See and before there was a Vatican City-State), and the Pope is the 265th(?) successor to Peter, and they keep the title of Bishop of Rome.\n\nAm I 100% sure of that?  No, but it makes sense to me.\n\n** Edit **\n\nHe is the Holy Father because he is a Priest (and we call our priests Father).  Holy because he is the head of the Church.\n\nWe call our Priests "Father" because they are the representatives of Christ on Earth, and at the Mass and at Confession he is acting "In Persona Christi" (In the Body of Christ).  If you are Catholic and go to Mass you will hear it in the Eucharist.  He says eat my body and drink my blood (as Jesus said in the last supper), not "Jesus said. . ."\n\nAs to whether or not he is "holy", I believe him to be.  He was elected by his peers with guidance from the Holy Spirit.  Not from political campaigning or the like (at least I don't remember signs saying "Vote for Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger for Pope" when I was at the Vatican - just a little humor).\n\nHis title is a little hard for some to accept.  It is true that Jesus said "call no man father on Earth" but he was refering to those that would claim to be from Christs teaching, but really weren't.  I think there is a clear, and unbroken, chain from Jesus, to St. Peter to Benedict XVI.\n\nI hope I helped clear it up.
