Pope John x11 Joe Friday, February 11, 2005

Question:

What can you tell me about pope Johnx11. I heard that he may have been the youngest pope on record.

I also have heard that he was killed in the act of adultery.
Thank You.

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Joe:

The story of this reprobate and evil Pope can be found at the online 1912 Catholic Encyclopedia.

Pope John XII died on 14 May, 964, eight days after he had been, according to rumour, stricken by paralysis in the act of adultery.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
