Popes: Pius IV #222, VRP Catholic Media.
Pope Pius IV, born Giovanni Angelo de Medici in 1499, became pope in 1559 after the death of Pope Paul IV. His papacy is noted for completing the Council of Trent, which aimed to reform the Church and address Protestantism, and he worked to strengthen the Counter-Reformation. Pius IV also promoted the arts and education, founding the Collegio Romano, which later became the Pontifical Gregorian University.
