Best Answer

There were sixteen of them over time, so you would have to be more specific. But generally speaking, all of them were perfectly happy to be Pope. On top of that, they already ruled the Papal State as sovereigns and in their capacity of Pope, considered themselves already superior to any secular ruler on the planet.
