Year of three popes

January 01, 1970

A year of three popes is a year when the College of Cardinals of the Catholic Church is required to elect two new popes within the same calendar year.[1] Such a year generally occurs when a newly elected pope dies or resigns very early into his papacy. This results in the Catholic Church being led by three different popes during the same calendar year. In one instance, in 1276, there was a year of four popes.

Instances edit

The most recent instance of a year of three popes occurred in 1978. The three popes involved were:[2]

  1. Paul VI, who was elected on 21 June 1963 and died on 6 August 1978.
  2. John Paul I, who was elected on 26 August 1978 and died thirty-three days later on 28 September 1978.
  3. John Paul II, who was elected on 16 October 1978 and held the position until his death 26 years, 5 months, and 18 days later on 2 April 2005.

There have been thirteen instances in which exactly three popes have held office in a given calendar year. Years in which the Roman Catholic Church was led by three different popes include:

There was also a year in which the Roman Catholic Church was led by four popes, called the Year of Four Popes:
