166. Innocent II

from PONTIFACTS: Ranking the Popes Hosted by Pontifacts

Well, we can all admit it: Innocent II was not elected canonically. And yet, he still ends up coming out as the canonical pope! In his episode, we discuss how this happened, his massively advantageous allies, an ecumenical council, and a Sicilian ambush.
