Untitled[edit]

Something wrong with the ordering of the preceding and following pope. - user:Montrealais

Becoming a bishop at the age of forty-two is not really swift promotion.

Only live popes are referred to by Catholics as His Holiness. Dead popes are not referred to as His Holiness. --Wetman 04:56, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cross refer to/between other Popes dying on this day. Jackiespeel 22 September 2005

The unidentified portrait on the template[edit]

The portrait is by Jacques Louis David. Doubtless the creators of the template have never heard of this painter. Nevertheless, to leave the name of the painter off these portraits in Wikipedia articles doesn't seem up to minimal standards. What are we to do? --Wetman 02:02, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Added his name at the bottom. --Geoffrey 06:17, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Original name[edit]

The article states that he was born Giorgio Barnaba Luigi Chiaramonti, however, wasn't he named Giorgio only when he entered the Benedictine order? rado 21:33, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Napoleon I[edit]

Throughout the entire article Napoleon is referred to as Napoleon I. Is this necessary? I know that there was more than one emperor Napoleon, but he's the only one being dealt with here. It would be like writing an article concerning Thomas Jefferson but never referring to him at any point simply as Jefferson. Just curious. It all seems rather pedantic.

Pope Pius VII (1742–1823) was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 14 March 1800 to his death in 1823. In this 1819 portrait by Thomas Lawrence, he is shown seated on the papal throne, wearing a zucchetto on his head, a red mozzetta, a lace-trimmed rochet, a white cassock and red papal slippers. The painting is in the Royal Collection of the British royal family, and hangs in the Waterloo Chamber in Windsor Castle.

Painting credit: Thomas Lawrence

San Anselmo[edit]

The article claims: "In 1776, Pius VI appointed the 34-year-old Dom Gregory, who had been teaching at the Monastery of Sant'Anselmo in Rome, as honorary abbot in commendam of his monastery." Zhis can hardly be true as San Anselmo was founded around 1887. --Boobarkee (talk) 08:32, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
