Why did Pope Celestine V resign?
Pietro Angelerio (Celestine) was a monk and hermit. He was elected as pope against his wishes to end a two year impasse to choose a new pope. The first thing he did as pope was to issue an edict making it legal for a pope to abdicate. As Celestine had no experience managing he was totally overwhelmed as a pope and resigned to return to his simple life as a monk and hermit. However, his successor had him imprisoned and he died 9 months later.
Who was the pope who predicted the number of popes after him?

Who was the most murderous pope?
A:Throughout history, popes have generally considered themselves above the law, which means that if a pope wished to commit murder or, more usually, order a victim to be murdered, he was free to do so. For this reason, it is hard to establish which pope was probably the most murderous. A likely candidate for this dubious honour is Pope Benedict IX, who is also the first sexually active pope said to have been primarily homosexual.
Is Pope Francis the last pope?
If you mean the Malachi Pope Prophesy, Benedict was the last Pope. Originally Malachi predicted only 111 future Popes. Benedict was the 111th. The 112th name on the list was added 400 years after the death of Malachi by a Benedictine monk that felt the Church should go 'out' on a more positive note. He added Peter the Roman, not Malachi. So, Peter the Roman is not a valid part of the Malachi predictions.
