Something wrong with the ordering of the preceding and following pope. - user:Montrealais
- Becoming a bishop at the age of forty-two is not really swift promotion.
- Only live popes are referred to by Catholics as His Holiness. Dead popes are not referred to as His Holiness. --Wetman 04:56, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
Cross refer to/between other Popes dying on this day. Jackiespeel 22 September 2005
The unidentified portrait on the template
The portrait is by Jacques Louis David. Doubtless the creators of the template have never heard of this painter. Nevertheless, to leave the name of the painter off these portraits in Wikipedia articles doesn't seem up to minimal standards. What are we to do? --Wetman 02:02, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
- Added his name at the bottom. --Geoffrey 06:17, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Original name
The article states that he was born Giorgio Barnaba Luigi Chiaramonti, however, wasn't he named Giorgio only when he entered the Benedictine order? rado 21:33, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Napoleon I
Throughout the entire article Napoleon is referred to as Napoleon I. Is this necessary? I know that there was more than one emperor Napoleon, but he's the only one being dealt with here. It would be like writing an article concerning Thomas Jefferson but never referring to him at any point simply as Jefferson. Just curious. It all seems rather pedantic.

San Anselmo
The article claims: "In 1776, Pius VI appointed the 34-year-old Dom Gregory, who had been teaching at the Monastery of Sant'Anselmo in Rome, as honorary abbot in commendam of his monastery." Zhis can hardly be true as San Anselmo was founded around 1887. --Boobarkee (talk) 08:32, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Odd picture
The first picture needs explaining. The pope’s portrait makes him look scared to death. The article describes a man who could confront napoleon with grit inconsistent with his portrays in this picture. Is there an explanation for this choice?
