All Popes of the Catholic Church: St Peter - Francis

Details

Description

This video shows all the Popes of the Catholic Church throughout history.
It starts with Saint Peter and ends with Pope Francis.
The video does not include the date of death, as most popes passed away at the end of their pontificate.

Q&A :
1 - Why do so many early-century popes resemble each other?
Over time, collections of papal portraits have accumulated, often showing great similarities between popes of the early centuries. These portraits were created long after their lifetimes and are based on the features traditionally attributed to them.

2 - What is the meaning of St., Bl. and Ven.?
These abbreviations indicate the canonization status of the Popes: St. for "Saint", Bl. for "Blessed", and Ven. for "Venerable". These titles reflect different stages of recognition within the Catholic Church, honoring individuals who are venerated either universally or locally, or recognized for their heroic virtues.

The number shown is not the Pope’s ordinal number, but the number of the pontificate.

To create the video, I used the information from the following Wikipedia list, excluding the counter-popes:
