Australia and the Popes
Index
This series is seeking to provide you with an overview of the Popes of the
Catholic Church. In particular we provide detailed information on the ten Popes
who have led the Catholic Church over the time since Australia became a nation
on 1st January 1901. In addition to personal information about each pope we
are seeking to describe the evolving character of Catholicism in Australia during
the period of their pontificate. The following list serves as a quick index
to each page but you can also navigate through the series chronologically by
using the timeline and links at the bottom of each page.
