    I am just having a bit of trouble with number 17. If it had been 1st JUNE instead...oh hang on! Would it be the martyred successor of St Patrick?

    Well done Patricius......not sure about the number of Popes though....my Catholic source was probably counting B16 !

    No, I'm pretty sure it's 265 popes including B16 ! (I remember going through this with my RE class on his election.

    Stephen II is usually omitted from the number because he died before consecration (he's number 92 in the Catholic Encyclopaedia list)
