Popes are allowed to stay in office until death or until they resign. There are no time limits except those imposed by death.

Who was the pope before Pius XII?

.Catholic AnswerPope John XXIII preceded Pope Paul VI. Pope John XXIII was elected when Pope Pius XII died. They really didn't think he was going to be Pope very long, or do anything much. He called and opened the Second Vatican Council. So much for "interim" popes who don't accomplish much, the Lord works in mysterious ways. See the Vatican article on Pope John XXIII, he was a very nice man, I remember reading his diary, he was also a very holy man.
