Best Answer

A:

Pope Gregory X was elected to the papacy in 1268 after the longest papal election in history, due to political divisions among the Cardinals, and reigned as pope until 1276.

Gregory X called the Second Council of Lyons in 1274 for the purpose of considering the East-West Schism, the condition of the Holy Land and the abuses of the Catholic Church. Against the spirit of his times, he wrote a letter against the charges of "blood libel" and persecution against the Jews.

Gregory continued a long papal tradition of nepotism by promoting his nephew (a term also sometimes used in the Roman church for illegitimate sons) to the position of Cardinal.
