Vatican II was a monumental task. It took four years of preparations and four sessions of debates over three years, between 1962 to 1965. Almost 3000 bishops, cardinals, heads of religious orders and theologians from all over the world participated in the council.
Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the United States took place from April 15, 2008 to April 20, 2008. It was his only visit to the United States. It was officially titled the "Apostolic Visit to the United States of America and to the Seat of the United Nations".
At the end of the New Pope finale, it appears that Lenny has died and gone back to heaven, presented as a beautiful, dreamlike beach.
The circumstances have ranged from martyrdom (Pope Stephen I) to war (Lucius II), to a beating by a jealous husband (Pope John XII). A number of other popes have died under circumstances that some believe to be murder, but for which definitive evidence has not been found.
The first Irish cardinal was ordained in 1852, and after him Ireland had only 16 more cardinals. Nowadays Ireland have only two. To become a pope, one needs political strength among his fellow cardinals, or fame that's way most popes in history were Italian, almost 200.

The Young Pope's Silvio Orlando on His Mischievous Role and Fake Moles. Of all of the actors on HBO's new love-it-or-hate-it religious drama The Young Pope, perhaps none have been met with such unexpected fanfare as seasoned Italian actor Silvio Orlando.
Benedict XVI's decision to step down as leader of the Catholic Church made him the first pope to relinquish the office since Gregory XII in 1415 (who did so in order to end the Western Schism) and the first to do so on his own initiative since Celestine V in 1294.
Filming locations included a refugee camp in Rome, a full-size reproduction of the Sistine Chapel interior created at the Cinecittà studios in Rome, an area outside Castel Gandolfo (the pope's summer palace), various locations in Rome as stand-ins for scenes at the Vatican, and poor areas of Buenos Aires.
By his bedside he keeps a mysterious ornate silver box — the contents of which have yet to be revealed. At this point in the story, it's a metaphor for Brannox's secrets. "He feels himself a fraud on many very profound levels. Rightfully so," Malkovich says.
How old is the pope?
83 years (December 17, 1936)
What happened in the last episode of the new pope?
Don't be alarmed. Yes, those keeping up with “The New Pope” are now looking at Lenny Belardo, the so-called young pope played by Jude Law, alive and in the flesh. After six episodes of spiritual apparitions and twitching fingers, Lenny finally woke from his 12-month coma.

In a rare interview granted in the months following the very public split, Benedict told Italian magazine Corriere Della Sera that there is currently only one pope, Francis.
The papal post is traditionally held until death, though Francis's predecessor Pope Benedict XVI resigned in 2013 after roughly seven years in office, becoming the first pope to step down in nearly 600 years.
Immediately following deathBefore he alerts the Church or the public of the death, he will stand over the papal body and call the Popes baptismal name out three times. The death certificate can be written and the camerlengo seals the papal apartments.

Roughly 30% of all popes are saints. Starting with St. Peter, traditionally regarded as the first leader of the church after Christ's death, 52 of the first 55 popes became saints during Catholicism's first 500 years.
Roman Catholics consider Peter to be the first pope. Since John II, it's believed that all popes have chosen a new name, often assuming the name of a previous pope whom they admired or whose work they hoped to continue or emulate. "Once they get to be pope, they can choose whatever name they want," Portier said.
