== List of popes ==

The ''Annuario Pontificio'' provides the Catholic Church's list of [[pope]]s. As historical questions are reinterpreted by each successive pope, they are recognized in the ''Annuario Pontificio''. For example, the 1942 ''Annuario Pontificio'' recognized the decisions of the [[Council of Pisa]] (1409), listing three popes for the period: [[Pope Gregory XII|Gregory XII]] (1406–1409), [[Antipope Alexander V|Alexander V]] (1409–1410), and [[Antipope John XXIII|John XXIII]] (1410–1415).<ref>{{cite book |title=Annuario pontificio per l'anno 1942 |date=1942 |location=Rome |page=21 |quote=205.
