Clement V, pope (1305-1314), (Bertrand de Goth, archbishop of Bordeaux, France) is memorable in history for his suppression of the order of the Templars, and as the pope who removed the seat of the Roman see to Avignon.

Defending Pope Pius XII By Alan Caruba web posted August 15, 2005 It is counter-intuitive for many Jews to regard the Roman Catholic Church as its friend, given the weight of history that records the many expulsions and attacks on European Jews over the centuries.
During the Black Plague, Pope Clement VI (1342-1352) was the only European leader to defend the Jews against the charge they were responsible for it.
Pope Leo X (1513-1521) repealed the obligation of Jews to wear badges, a precursor to the Nazi requirement of the infamous Yellow Star.
