I think I’d like to give a shoutout at this point over to Keith Williams over on The Final Wager, whose Papal Pandemonium series began, interestingly enough, two years ago to the day (Without it, this may have been a much more difficult Final for me.)
Twelve different Popes have used the name Pius, the 11th and 12th coming between 1922 and 1958 (Pius XI died in 1939.)
