"A Brief and Interesting Fact"
"The Roman Catholic Church counts over 264 popes, beginning with St. Peter and his martyred successors. The first 35 popes are all considered saints. The 36th Pope, fourth-century Liberius, an irresolute man who contributed to the squabbles between Rome and Constantinople, has the distinction of being the first uncanonized bishop of Rome."
