- Out of the hundreds of Popes that have served over the last few thousand years… it’s a difficult task to only choose five. Even being familiar enough with every Pope would be a challenge enough. These are the most upvoted responses from a thread on the Catholic subreddit asking about the best Popes of all time.

Saint Gregory the Great was great too
I got to see John Paul II in Boston October 1 1979 was awesome experience
It's hard to choose only five good popes out of more than 250.
Perhaps one would have added Gregory VII, who stood up the Holy Roman Emperor. And Pious VII, who stood up Napoleon at his heyday; when asked to hand over the Papal States to Napoleon, he famously said "Non debemus, non possumus, non volumus" (we must not, we cannot, we wish not").
His Holiness Pope Benedict Xvi is no doubt a future doctor of the Church
He was a Master Theologian for sure.
He's definitely a doctor of the church.
What about his husband?
@@Lucky55BlueNo, I know theology a lot higher than him.
@@gregorypilau3530Didn't his holy water cure cancer, HIV, diabetes, Coronavirus ?
I would have expected Gregory I, Innocent III or Gregory VII on this list, although, with one egregious exception, the choices are good ones.
Too bad St. Pius V is shown here looking like Montgomery Burns.
Yes, in the old time, there were good Popes.
This is a very strange selection ignoring all important popes between the 1st and 16th centuries. Some of them were more important than the named ones.
Although I love Pope St John Paul the II. I also liked Pope Benedict XVI. I love how the 2 previous popes kept the Latin tradition alive. While out current Pope Francis is starting to take away the Latin tradition and culture of the Catholic Church
@@troyrowe7670 This is not the question, but I would not rank them under the five most important popes of history and ignore Sylvester, Leo, Gregory, and Urban.
@@troyrowe7670 it would help greatly for catholics that Latin Mass is
available every day.............far more reverence and obedience
@@nickfraser422 Not to mention the amount of young Catholics who attend Latin mass. Having Latin mass near everyone will greatly increase the number of younger people attending mass. Even if bishops instituted more parishes to have the Latin Novus Ordo would be a step. The nearest TLM to me is the city of my diocese, which is almost 3 hours away and at 2pm. It greatly inconveniences those who want to attend
@@troyrowe7670St. John Paul the II ? A saint, are u joking ? I know absolutely he did one thing very stupid in his term.
Pope Pius XII was a great pope. He is sadly misunderstood. He deserves sainthood. ❤️
Hitler was apparently very upset when he found out that the Pope was trying to have him bumped off.
For uneducated, no knowledge of history as you would say Pope Pius XII was good.
Pope Pius XII was Hitler's Pope, loyal to him more than God.
For an uneducated person as you, no history knowledge, Pope Pius XII should be your great great grandmother.
@janegainsford3869 removed my comment, I am the famous Stephen the Narcissist, a very intelligent historian atheist. Sorry, you don't have any knowledge of Pope Pius XII, and scared to debate with me.

JP2?
I would put Pope Pius IX as number 6.
With all due respect and reference to Your Holiness, but this list proves that people on Reddit don't know how to choose anything
For years I’ve called Leo XIII “Leo the Just;” I’m pleased he’s on the list, although I wonder where they think Leo the Great, Gregory the Great, Leo IX, Innocent III, and Gregory VII might fit.
It's hard to limit the number to five. There are other great popes that deserve recognition such as Leo the Great and Gregory the Great
Pray an act of perfect contrition everyday
I’m for Pope Francis the Greater (compared to the JPII the Great).
More like francis the heretic to me.
@@santiagoparra242 you’re not the magisterium to judge one as heretic
Hahahah, Pope Francis is stupid to use Twitter.
@@paulebreowong2790 if Jesus or Paul were alive today they would use it and other social media platforms to let their message reach as many people as possible in the media most used today
Holy father Pope Francis
Lord bless you
You are the prince of Peace love and mercy on earth
Successor of Saint Peter.
Hahahahah, he wants to establish diplomatic relation with Commie but was kicked out.
@@paulebreowong2790 if you have addressed blessed Pope in this comment, and you belong to Catholic faith, you are weakening your mind.
If the case otherwise be, it is just opinion it could be criticized or not at, being as one's choice.
I was telling the truth, I am a Chinese, I know. Vatican is one of the very few countries in the world have no diplomatic relationship with Commie China, because Commie know God is useless, for example, no God helped China in Nanking Massacre, Great Leap Forward. Commie don't need a useless God, your education level is too low, u don't know.
Test abc, was my comment removed ?
@SafdarAli-ow4ij I was telling the truth. Rich and powerful Communist China has no diplomatic relation with Vatican, they don't need an useless God.
Holy Russia the only upholder of the Faith today.
I never read Plato, Aristotle, Homer, Aeschylus, don't you ? Can you read Greek ? Didn't you graduate in Athens University ? Proof your qualifications first.
@SafdarAli-ow4ij, I was telling the truth, absolutely no bullying. I am not Pope Pius XII, didn't bless Nazi, either as priest sex abused minor, either do any harm on your mother, I am a very good man, no sin, need no forgiveness from God.
@SafdarAli-ow4ij, I am the famous Stephen the Narcissist, a very intelligent atheist, aren't you afraid of debating me ? You reported me, I never report people.
