The statistic shows the popes of the Catholic church who served most years. Pope Pius IX had the longest papacy of about 31 years and 8 months (1846-1878). The papacy of the first pope Peter has not been included here, because of the lack of data on his life.
On February 11, 2013 pope Benedict XVI announced that he will resign his office on February 28, 2013.
