how many catholic popes has there ever been?

Answer 1

265, including the current Pope.

Answer 2

The list posted by idamahn is a very good one, and from a quick glance and given the reference, it is the official list of Roman Catholic Popes.

If you wanted to get a little more complicated, you could look into the history of the papacy and the number of anti-popes. There are also spinoff churches that have popes. I'm not clear on how the other Catholic churches work in terms of their heirarchy (meaning, Aremenian Catholic, Eastern Rite, etc.)

And, in passing, the current pope is NOT a Nazi. Like so many German boys of that era, he was conscripted into Hilter Youth. And, might I add, he DEFECTED from his assignment at the risk of his own life.

Answer 4

Zero, because the Catholic church was created by Constintine, a Preist of the Roman Sun god and emperor of Rome who was only Baptized on his death bed when he could no longer fight back. He enacted the Nicene council to codify a creed for the Catholic church that was totally different than what the ancient christians actually believed and killed anyone who disagreed. He did this because he understood that Christianity was becoming popular and needed to hijack the religion in order to control the people as well as future governments and kings. And so, all popes are fakes who follow a false doctrine created by a pagan.

Answer 5

First, the correct grammar to this sentence would use the word "have." Second, there "have" been 37 different popes for the Catholic Church, if you decide to consider only popes from Roman Catholic Church. There are more if you add in the popes from the Catholic Church in Avignon during the Great Schism of the Church.
