 List of popes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of Popes of the Roman Catholic Church.
A man elected in 752 and dead three days after was listed on this list as Stephen II until 1960, but he has been erased since the 1961 edition.
The main reason this Stephen is still on those lists is that they are based on the 1913 edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia, which is in the public domain.

 Inquiry and Analysis Series - No. 164
He stressed that the United Nations system was so stringent that it would not have allowed anyone to play with oil contracts and that the publication of the list was intended "to slander those who were defending the Iraqi people." [26] Ironically, he served as the chairman of the anti-corruption committee of the Jordanian parliament.
He said the list "has no basis in truth and we do not know its reasons." He added that the accusation "is an attempt to slander those who stand against the American occupation of Iraq and stand with the Iraqi resistance and the Iraqi brethren and cooperate and support them." [29]
It mattered not to those who were bribed and those who shut their eyes that the money they received from the deposed regime to sing its praise were taken away from the Iraqi people which was destroyed by Saddam's wars and his stupid policies.

Schiavo's body was taken in an unmarked white van with police escort to the Pinellas County medical examiner's office, where an autopsy was planned that both sides hoped would reveal the extent of her brain damage and whether she was abused by her husband, as the Schindlers have contended, the Associated Press reported.
The unprecedented case pitted the woman's parents against her husband, who had argued for years that his wife's unwritten wish was to not be sustained by artificial means if the need ever arose.
Quill, who is also director of the Palliative Care Program at the University of Rochester Medical Center, stressed that the family acrimony seen in the Schiavo case was rare, and most families who face these crises come to some kind of informed agreement to let the patient die.

It was these "enlightened despots" who, coached by the philosphers of the Enlightenment, were to usher in a new age, free of the incumbrances of religious superstition.
It was Baron Knigge who helped graft on to the Illuminati much of the ritual of Freemasonry but Weishaupt had dabbled in masonry several years before forming his Order, and considered it of little use in furthering his own purposes.

Rodríguez, who used the codename "Félix Ramos" in Bolivia and posed as a Bolivian military officer, was secretly debriefed on his role by the CIA's office of the Inspector General in June, 1975.
