Pope John XXII
John XXII
also: Johann der Zweiundzwanzigste, John the Twenty-second, Jacques de Cahors, Jakob von Cahors, Jacques Duèze
Pope John XXII (c.1244--1334), the Avignon pope born Jacques Duèze of Cahors; a small, tireless old man around whose pontificate the great palace rose, beset by poison and wax effigies, who late preached---and then repeatedly recanted---that the blessed do not see God fully before the Last Judgment.
