Hoping my RC brethren will be able to help me on this one. Who is the Pope featured at the beginning of this clip? I think it is Pope Pius. Definitely not the X or the XII, so I am torn between IX or XI. Given that it is in colour, I would plump for the latter. I would also love to know the name of the Pope at the end, a portrait obviously from centuries ago.

I think it might be Julius 11. Though i wouldn't bet on it.

I presume that's the one at the end.

I would help if I read the question properly. The one at the end could be Julius.

Not convinced though you could be right. Trouble is all old men in beards look the same. (I should talk!)

Pius 9 or Gregory 16?

Question Author

have googled both of those but the portraits don't match.

its Pius X the same picture is here http://www.google.co....st%3Dy%26tbs%3Disch:1

Thank you so much. I had ruled him out of the picture because of his advanced age. That will teach me not to be so quick to rush to judgement.

The one at the end is Pius V, there is a very similar picture on the same site

Congratulations on the promotion Mike, however you appear to have been double crossed.
