In fact, there may be several who are not even in Heaven. Popes are human and not gods. They are subject to the same temptations as everyone on earth, probably even more so. Because a pope is responsible for so many souls, God tends to judge them a bit more strictly. Of 266 popes in the history of the Church, only about 80 are saints and several others are at various stages in the canonization process.
