Who was the most murderous pope?
A:Throughout history, popes have generally considered themselves above the law, which means that if a pope wished to commit murder or, more usually, order a victim to be murdered, he was free to do so. For this reason, it is hard to establish which pope was probably the most murderous. A likely candidate for this dubious honour is Pope Benedict IX, who is also the first sexually active pope said to have been primarily homosexual.
