Every Pope Explained - The History of Popes From St Peter to Francis & Evolution of the Papacy
Biggest History Myths Debunked    • History Myths & Misconceptions Debunked  


This video focuses more on the significant events and geopolitics of each pope and the complete historical timeline of how the papacy evolved and influenced over 2000 years of world history. In addition to everything mentioned, every pope spent much of their time also attending events, carrying out church services, overseeing policies and doctrines, debating theology, signing papal bulls, encyclicals, decrees, hosting meetings, managing church finances, appointing staff, writing to world leaders, reading letters from the public, studying and generally managing the church, vatican and papal states which isn't as exciting or noteworthy but makes up an important bulk of a popes day to day.
