.

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.
