Pope: Sergius IV #143, VRP Catholic Media 2024.
From humble origins, this son of a shoemaker rose to the highest position in the Church. In 1010, the Saracens destroyed the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. As a reaction to the horrific news, devotion and pilgrimages spread throughout Christendom and the crusading movement began to take shape. Pope Sergius is said to have issued a bull calling on the kings and princes of Europe to eradicate the anti-Christian menace from the Holy Land. Though not officially canonized, he is considered a saint by the Benedictine Order.
