List of popes

The list of popes begins with St. Peter and continues through the present day. The pope is the head of the Catholic Church.

Popes buried in St. Peter's

Peter was called the Bishop of Rome. All others who became Bishop of Rome were also recognized as popes.

Chronological list of popes

The list sometimes says interregnum. This is Latin for "between reigns". It means there was no Pope; as in a Pope had passed away, and his successor hadn't yet been elected.
