Pope: John XII

Pope: John XII #131, VRP Catholic History.
Pope John XII, elected at a mere 18 years old in 955, was one of the youngest popes in history, wielding significant influence during a turbulent era for the Church. His papacy, marked by both lavish indulgence and political intrigue, saw him embroiled in scandal and conflict, yet he remains a complex figure whose reign reflected the chaotic intertwining of religion and secular power. Despite his controversial tenure, John XII's impact on the medieval Church and its political landscape endures as a fascinating chapter in papal history.
