CRAP !!


The shortest Papal reign was in 752. It lasted only two days !


Assuming that an unconfirmed pope is a pope, then the shortest serving pope


was known as Pope Stephen II who was the pope-elect for two days He was


elected March 24 and died March 26, 742.





Using the list with only the confirmed popes, then the shortest serving pope


was known as Pope Leo XI who served for 11 days between April 1 and April


12, 1605. Other short-serving popes include Pope Urban VII (12 days), Pope


Marcellus II (20 days), Pope John Paul I (23 days), and Pope Pius II (26


days). The longest-serving pope was Saint Peter, who reigned for 37 years.
