Published every year by the Roman Curia, the Annuario Pontificio no longer identifies popes by regnal number, stating that it is impossible to decide which pope represented the legitimate succession at various times.Annuario Pontificio (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 2012 {{ISBN|978-88-209-8722-0}}), p. 12 The 2001 edition of the Annuario Pontificio introduced "almost 200 corrections to its existing biographies of the popes, from St Peter to John Paul II". The corrections concerned dates, especially in the first two centuries, birthplaces and the family name of one pope.WEB,weblink Corrections Made to Official List of Popes, 21 October 2008, ZENIT, 5 June 2001,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20090119001522weblink">weblink 19 January 2009, The term pope () is used in several churches to denote their high spiritual leaders (for example Coptic pope). This title in English usage usually refers to the head of the Catholic Church. The Catholic pope uses various titles by tradition, including Summus Pontifex, Pontifex Maximus, and Servus servorum Dei. Each title has been added by unique historical events and unlike other papal prerogatives, is not incapable of modification.WEB,weblink Papal Primacy of honour: titles and insignia, Newadvent.org, 1 June 1911, 23 February 2013, 31 May 2018,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20180531055429weblink">weblink live, Hermannus Contractus may have been the first historian to number the popes continuously. His list ends in 1049 with Leo IX as number 154. Several changes were made to the list during the 20th century. Christopher was considered a legitimate pope for a long time but was removed due to how he obtained the papacy. Pope-elect Stephen was listed as Stephen II until the 1961 edition, when his name was removed. The decisions of the Council of Pisa (1409) were reversed in 1963 in a reinterpretation of the Western Schism, extending Gregory XII's pontificate to 1415 and classifying rival claimants Alexander V and John XXIII as antipopes.A significant number of these popes have been recognized as saints, including 48 out of the first 50 consecutive popes, and others are in the sainthood process. Of the first 31 popes, 28 died as martyrs.

Became Pope in the context of the Italian Wars, a period in which the major powers of Europe fought for primacy in the Italian peninsula. Established the Vatican Museums and initiated the rebuilding of the St. Peter's Basilica. The same year he organized the famous Swiss Guard for his personal protection and commanded a successful campaign in Romagna against local lords. The interests of Julius II lay also in the New World as he ratified the Treaty of Tordesillas, establishing the first bishoprics in the Americas and beginning the catholicization of Latin America. In 1508, he commissioned the Raphael Rooms and Michelangelo's paintings in the Sistine Chapel.Julius II was described by Machiavelli in his works as the ideal prince.

Came to the papacy in the midst of one of its greatest crises, threatened not only by Lutheranism to the north but also by the advance of the Ottoman Turks to the east. He refused to compromise with Lutheranism theologically, demanding Luther's condemnation as a heretic. However, he is noted for having attempted to reform the Catholic Church administratively in response to the Protestant Reformation. Adrian's remarkable admission that the turmoil of the Church was the fault of the Roman Curia itself was read at the 1522–1523 Diet of Nuremberg.His efforts at reform, however, proved fruitless, as they were resisted by most of his Renaissance ecclesiastical contemporaries, and he did not live long enough to see his efforts through to their conclusion.}}{{pope list item40px)Papal conclave, 1523>26 November 1523 –25 September 1534{{small15232609|25}})}}80px)Pope Clement VII>Clement VII{{small|CLEMENS Septimus}}| Giulio di Giuliano de' Medici| 26 May 1478 Florence, Republic of Florence, Holy Roman Empire| 45 / 56("Unharmed candor")}}HTTP://WWW.GCATHOLIC.ORG/HIERARCHY/POPE/C07.HTM >TITLE=POPE CLEMENT VII (1523–1534) ACCESS-DATE=1 APRIL 2014ARCHIVE-URL=HTTPS://WEB.ARCHIVE.ORG/WEB/20180721162253/HTTP://WWW.GCATHOLIC.ORG/HIERARCHY/POPE/C07.HTM, live, Citizen of the Republic of Florence.

Secondly, a revolving earth would imply a stellar parallax.

Known for various building projects which included the facade of St Peter's Basilica.

Christoph Grienberger, one of the Jesuit scholars, was sympathetic to Galileo's theories, but was invited to defend the Aristotelian point of view by Claudio Acquaviva, the Jesuits' Father General.Not all scientists at the time supported Galileo. Opposition from Tycho Brahe and others arose from the fact that, if heliocentrism were true, an annual stellar parallax should be observed, although no such evidence existed at the time. (Only in 1838 was Friedrich Bessel able to accurately observe it.) Galileo's arguments – based on sunspots and the action of tides – were flawed and were refuted and rejected by other scholars at the time.}}{{pope list item40px)Papal conclave, 1621>9 February 1621 –8 July 1623{{small16210907|08}})}}80px)Pope Gregory XV>Gregory XV{{small|GREGORIVS Quintus Decimus}}Ludovisi (family)>Ludovisi| 9 January 1554 Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Papal States| 67 / 69| Subject and later the sovereign of the Papal States.

Numbering of popes

Regnal numbers follow the usual convention for European monarchs. The first pope who chooses a unique name is not usually identified by an ordinal, John Paul I being the exception. Antipopes are treated as pretenders, and their numbers are reused by those considered to be legitimate popes. However, there are anomalies in the numbering of the popes. Several numbers were mistakenly increased in the Middle Ages because the records were misunderstood. Several antipopes were also kept in the sequence, either by mistake or because they were previously considered to be true popes.Louis Duchesne, "Le nombre des papes", in: Miscellanea di storia ecclesiastica e studi ausiliare {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240310122949weblink |date=10 March 2024 }} Vol. 2 (Roma: 1903–1904), pp. 3–7.
  • Alexander: Antipope Alexander V (1409–1410) was listed in the Annuario Pontificio as a legitimate pope until the 20th century,BOOK, Annuario pontificio per l'anno 1942, 1942, Rome, 21, 205. Gregorio XII, Veneto, Correr (c. 1406, cessò a. 1409, m. 1417) – Pont. a. 2, m. 6. g. 4. 206. Alessandro V, dell'Isola di Candia, Filargo (c. 1409, m. 1410). - Pont. m. 10, g. 8. 207. Giovanni XXII o XXIII o XXIV, Napoletano, Cossa (c. 1410, cessò dal pontificare 29 mag. 1415, when the Pisan popes were reclassified as antipopes. There had already been three more Alexanders by then, so there is now a gap in the numbering sequence.
  • Donus: The name has only been used by one pope. The apocryphal Pope Donus II resulted from confusion between the Latin word dominus (lord) and the name Donus.
  • Felix: Antipope Felix II (356–357) was kept in the numbering sequence.{{CathEncy|author=Paschal Robinson|wstitle=Antipope}}
  • John: The numbering of the Popes John is particularly confused. In the modern sequence, they are identified by the numbers they used during their reigns.
    • Antipope John XVI (997–998) was kept in the numbering sequence.
    • Pope John XXI (1276–1277) chose to skip the number XX, believing that there had been another Pope John between XIV and XV. In reality, John XIV had been counted twice.{{CathEncy|author=Paschal Robinson|wstitle=Chronological Lists of Popes}}
    • By the 16th century, the numbering error had been conflated with legends about a female Pope Joan, whom some authors called John VIII. She was never listed in the Annuario Pontificio.{{CathEncy|author=Paschal Robinson|wstitle=Popess Joan}}
    • Antipope John XXIII (1410–1415) was listed in the Annuario Pontificio as a legitimate pope until the 20th century. After the Pisan popes were classified as antipopes, Pope John XXIII (1958–1963) chose to reuse the number, citing "twenty-two [sic] Johns of indisputable legitimacy."MAGAZINE, I Choose John ...,weblink Time, 10 November 1958, 91, 5 April 2020, 24 November 2022,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20221124102923weblink">weblink live,
  • Martin: Pope Martin I (649–655) is followed by Martin IV (1281–1285). Due to the similarity between the Latin names Marinus and Martinus, Marinus I and Marinus II were mistakenly considered to be Martin II and III.{{CathEncy|author=Paschal Robinson|wstitle=Pope Martin IV}}
  • Stephen: Pope-elect Stephen (752) died before being consecrated. He was previously known as Stephen II, but the Vatican removed him from the official list of popes in 1961. The remaining Stephens are now numbered Pope Stephen II (752–757) to Pope Stephen IX (1057–1058).
