| 90. | St Zacharias | 3 Dec.741 – 15 Mar.752 | ||
| 91. | Stephen II (III) | 26 Mar.752 – 26 Apr.757 | ||
| In March 752 an elderly presbyter, Stephen was elected pope, but died before he was ordained bishop. His successor, confusingly, was also called Stephen. Under modern canon law, however, a man is pope from the moment of election. Some modern Roman Catholic lists therefore count the first of these two Stephens as Pope Stephen II, with a consequent disturbance of the numbering of all subsequent Stephens. He is omitted from our list, but the variant numberings are noted. | ||||

| 129. | John XII | 16 Dec.955 – 14 May 964 | ||
| 130. | Leo VIII | 4 Dec.963 – 1 Mar.965 | ||
| Because John XII was deposed by the Emperor Otto I, the validity of Leo VIII’s election has been contested, and he is included as an antipope in many lists. The Roman Catholic Church’s official list of popes, as printed in the Annuario Pontifico, recognises him as a true pope. | ||||

Malachy’s names taken from Appendix A. The Complete Prophesy of St. Malachy
Concluding paragraph of Appendix A:
In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there shall reign Peter the Roman who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the terrible judge will judge the people
[Note: St Hippolytus denoted in the text above as an antipope was never declared a pope or an antipope. He was bishop of Ostia Attica the port city of Rome and was a thorn in the side of the popes in Rome as he continually denounced them for the sinners they were. His histories and writings had to be discredited and the only way they did that was by declaring him an antipope.]
