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.

No.\n\nAll non-Jewish boys in Germany were compelled to join the Hitler youth. It was just like being drafted. They did not have a choice.\n\nThe Pope is not and never has been a Nazi. He unfortunately was born and grew up in a country ruled by the Nazi party.\n\nThank God, you and I live in a very different world than the Pope and millions of other people did in 1930s and 1940s Germany. \n\nWith love in Christ.

That's a somewhat contentious issue, as there are many whom some might consider popes, whom the Church proper considers antipopes. The official answer is 265.

Like all ministries, first you have to be called by God.\n\nIf you are not Catholic, then you will have to become fully initiated into the Catholic Church.\n\nThen you need to study and become a priest and serve your fellow Christians unselfishly for many years.\n\nThen you may be selected to serve an entire diocese as a bishop, a successor of the Apostles.\n\nThen you may be selected by the Pope to the office of cardinal.\n\nThen you can vote for Pope until you are 70 years of age.\n\nGod bless you and your work on your journey of faith.\n\nWith love in Christ.

The Pope is just a man like yourself, but elected to run an organisation. If you had done what he did, you could have been Pope.\nUnfortunately his position is head of a false religon, corrupted by man through the centuries. He will have the same opportunity for forgiveness when he is resurected, as you will.\nHowever, you could improve your position some by reading the bible and following Jesus more closely as one of his lambs..

He was born around 1170, about 100 miles north of Madrid, Spain.\n\nWhen he was 7 years old he was sent to live with his uncle who was a priest.\n\nWhen he was 25, he was ordained a priest himself.\n\nHe was instrumental in promoting the tradition of the Rosary in the Catholic church.\n\nHe continued on to be a significant figure in the Catholic Church of his time, and founder of the Dominican Order of priests.\n\nThese links will give you many details about his life.  I hope this helps.

His mother died when he was quite young.  He was raised by another family until he was 13; after that, the local archbishop became his legal guardian until he became an adult.  That's probably why.\n\nHe is the patron saint of (among other people/things) adopted children.  \n\nBy the way, I had a baby at age 17 who I placed for adoption.  God bless you on your decision to adopt.

The Order of Friars Minor (commonly called the Franciscans) is a mendicant religious order of men tracing their origin to Francis of Assisi and following the Rule of St. Francis. The official Latin name is the Ordo Fratrum Minorum (literally, "Order of Little Brothers"); Francis thus referred to his followers as "Fraticelli", meaning "Little Brothers". Franciscan brothers are informally called friars. The order has historically been known as the greyfriars. Among the most important Franciscans are its founder, Francis, as well as Anthony of Padua, Bonaventure, John Duns Scotus, Roger Bacon, Alexander of Hales, William of Ockham, and Giovanni da Pian del Carpini.

The years 1300-1500, the Late Middle Ages, were a period of difficulty for the Roman Catholic Church.  The popes resided in Avignon, France for seventy years to escape political pressures in Italy, but the prophetic voices of St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Catherine of Siena urged reform and called the popes back to Rome.  A worse tragedy followed, however; the great schism of 1378 -1417 in which two and later three men claimed to be the legitimate pope.  The influence of the papacy was severely damaged.  Englishman John Wycliff and Czech John Hus furher challenged the Church's teaching authority.\n\nIn spite of this there were signs of spiritual awakening.  Catholic mysticism flourished in Holland, Germany, and England.  The modern devotion movement gave birth to 'The Imitation of Christ' and other spiritual classics.  St. Joan of Arc's visions brought victory to France, and in the East the prayer of the heart <hesychasm> ushered in new spiritual life.

According to Wikipidea, the current Pope Benedict XVI would be the 267th pope.\nThe papacy has not always been in Rome, Italy (Avignon, France), one pope was only pope for three days before he died and one of the popes may have been a female (she was killed after they found out she was a female and with child) and those two are not counted by some.
