If he did then He obviously does NOT KNOW GOD...He has religion with God NOT relationship...Religion is trusting in what you know and do to earn Gods love and relationship is trusting in what Jesus said did on cross so you know Gods Love

The Assumption of Mary is the celebration of her being lifted body and soul (Assumed) into Heaven by Jesus Christ at the completion of her earthly life, and the Feast Day celebrating this is August 15th. This was declared as Dogma by Pope Pius XII in 1950. As a note, things aren't declared Dogma until their is a widespread disbelief in them; the Assumption of Mary is a belief that's been held by Christians since at least the 3rd Century.

He wants the Church to make more frequent use of the Latin Mass and has told bishops that they can not forbid the Latin Mass in their Diocese and must encourage its use.

Not a lot the pope's ring is made out of gold and has an engraving on it. Somewhere in the range of $375-$450 dollars now the actual engraving may cost more to make. Also the pope's rings are destroyed after they die or abdicate.

Usually the pope resides in the Papal Apartments of the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. However, Pope Francis has chosen to live in a mush smaller apartment in the Casa Santa Marta located near St. Peter's Basilica.

Benedict XV served as pope for 7 years and 141 days.

No, there is no pope during a conclave. The purpose of a conclave is to elect a new pope because the position is vacant. However, the cardinal electors who are in the conclave do eat while there.

1215 was the year of the Fourth Lateran Council, I know of no edict from the Holy Father closing Churches at that time.

The pope does not live in a cathedral. He usually lives in the Papal Apartments near St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. However, Pope Francis has chosen to live in the Casa Santa Marta in a small but comfortable apartment. The Casa Santa Marta is a hostel constructed to house visiting dignitaries and to house the cardinals during the papal conclaves.

Pope Clement VI granted remission of sin to all who died of the Plague.

This is NOT possible.

Pope John Paul II died in the Vatican in April 2005.

Few details are known about Pope Clement's life. According to Tertullian, Clement was consecrated by Saint Peter, and he is known to have been a leading member of the church in Rome in the late 1st century. The order of the first popes is a bit confused. Early church lists place him as the second or third bishop of Rome after Saint Peter. He died about the year 99 and some say he was a martyr but there is no confirmation of this. His Letter to the Corinthians is one of the few non canonical documents that survives from the first century.

Pope Alexander VI reigned for 11 years, 7 days.

Charlemagne was crowned as the first Holy Roman Emperorby Pope Leo in the year A.D. 800, giving birth to the Holy Roman Empire, and what later would become Europe.

Charlemagne (Latin for Charles the Great) inherited his father, Pepin's kingdom of the Franks (which would come to be known as France), along with his older brother, Carloman. Carloman died leaving Charles as so King in A.D. 771. Charles waged around sixty military campaigns to fend off enemies of his kingdom, and in the process extended his kingdom all the way to what is now Hungary.

He organized a very efficient government and promoted education and the Church. Charles attended daily Mass and in caring for the Church, promoted clerical morals and education of the clergy. He especially promoted learning in the monasteries and personally oversaw this.

Under Charles the Great, known to future generations as Charlemagne, he had personally revived learning in the old Roman empire - Carolingian Minuscle, a new way of writing, forming letters and separating words was a marvel of clarity and bears his name to this day.

His enlightened reign gave birth to the Holy Roman Empire, which covered all of the old Roman empire (save Spain) and the naming of which came from the Pope himself: Pope Leo crowned Charlemagne emperor on Christmas Day in St. Peter's in the year 800. Charlemagne fused Catholic, Roman, and Germanic creativity in his new empire which would eventually become Europe. The Holy Roman Emperor gave birth to Western Civilization which would emerge in the second millennium as a glorious Europe which would affect the whole world.

Catholics, being Christian believe that Jesus Christ is The Most Important. The pope is the successor of Peter, who Jesus Christ made head of his church.

Pope Pius XII.

The dove is the Holy Spirit dove and it means that Gregory was being spiritually inspired to copy the manuscripts.

His cause of death is unspecified, but he probably died of old age. He was born ca. 304 A.D. and died on December 11, 384, which would make him about 80 years old at death. For a person in the fourth century, that's a very long life.

Having received a petition for aid against the invasion of the Seljuk Turks from the Eastern emperor Alexios I Komnenos, blessed pope Urban II wanted to convince those in the west who could lead a campaign towards the Holy Land that this was a matter of duty for Christians. It is said that from his preaching of what would be later called the first crusade came the common cry "Deus vult!" (God wills it!)

The Catholic Church have over the centuries condemned freemasonry, even though many catholics are members. The church has condemned many things such as Condom use, contraceptives etc.. etc.. even Rotary International - however Catholics rarely take notice of such rules in todays times. Freemasonry is secret and unless a member divulges there status its likely to stay that way. While the pope undertakes certain Masonic gestures and signs, nobody has confirmed or denied his status as a 33 degree Freemason (or for that matter a 32 degree). The visual evidence points towards the fact that he most probably is a 33 degree Freemason, but its open to interpretation. Hardline Catholics would probably disagree though.

The pope is the Vicar of Christ. He occupies the seat of Peter, and is essentially Christ's chief apostle and leader of His Church here on Earth. The pope is also the Bishop of Rome.

The pope's responsibility is to lead the church. As you can imagine, the responsibilities are incredible and diversse. Most popes will spend their time focusing on issues or topics that are of interest to the Church needs at that time. The pope essentially listens to the cultural pulse and speaks out in the name of Christ on issues. For example, Pope John Paul II spent much of his early years focusing on building up the resistance in Eastern Europe to Communism which eventually caused the collapse of the Berlin Wall.
