Popes have been around since the days of Saint Peter. They did not use the title of pope until many years later, however, but there has always been a man in the position as leader of Christianity.
Nearly all popes die during their papacy since the position is for life. A few, very few, have resigned but the vast majority died in office.
Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI
Since July 30th 1938
Pope Benedict XVI who resigned in 2013 and Pope Francis who was elected that year.
