"This Who's Who gives an up-to-date biographical account of every pope in history - from St Peter to Pope Benedict XVI - in chronological order. It also covers their irregularly elected rivals, the 'antipopes', and an appendix discusses the tradition that there has been a female pope." "Each entry covers family, social background, pre-papal career, activities in office, and includes further reading."--BOOK JACKET.
