Know Your Pope

As Pope Francis makes his way to the United States, let's see how much you know about Papal history and traditions:

Pope Benedict XV was the first pope to resign since Pope Gregory XII in what year?

Pope Benedict XVI waves to faithful during his "Urbi et Orbi" ("To the City and to the World") Christmas message in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican on Thursday, Dec. 25, 2008. The pope warned that the world was headed toward ruin if selfishness prevails over solidarity during tough economic times for both rich and poor nations. Speaking from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica on the day Christians commemorate Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, Benedict declared that the "heart of the Christian message is meant for all men and women."
