Pope John XIX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | John XIX (born in Rome, died October 1032), born Romanus, was Pope from 1024 to 1032. |
 | | Against the grain of ecclesiastical history, John XIX agreed, upon being paid with a large bribe, to grant to the Patriarch of Constantinople the title of an ecumenical bishop. |
 | | After John XIX's death, his nephew, Pope Benedict IX (1032–44, 1045, 1047–48), was found as a successor, although he was still young: according to some sources, he was only 12, but he was more likely to have been about 18 or 20. |
