Confessionator741 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 WHich pope was renowned for talking in his sleep? who other than Pope John XXIII..... reports from the vatican say that he often dreamed about his problems. He was once overheard to murmur, while napping..."i dont know. I will have to ask the Pope." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeraMaria Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 check this out: The most commonly used name is John (23 times), followed by Gregory (16 times), Benedict (15 times); 43 names were used only once. Only two Popes have taken two names; John Paul I and II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeraMaria Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Of the 264 popes (262 to be exact because Pope Benedict IX, during the dreadful medieval fights between popes and anti-popes, was elected three times) 205 were Italians, (of whom 106 were Romans), and 57 foreigners; comprised of 19 Frenchmen, 14 Greeks, 8 Syrians, 5 Germans, 3 Africans, 2 Spaniards, 1 Austrian, 1 Palestinian, 1 Englishman, 1 Dutchman, and 1 Pole. whoa! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
