You know, in 1049, Bruno (I think he should have kept that name as pope) was enthroned as pope, taking the name Leo IX. Among his first acts was to counter threats from antipope Benedict IX. It seems like nothing has changed since then, and what he works on is to improve the papal finances, which are in questionable condition, and correct the abuses of simony and sexual misconduct that are rife among the clergy and hierarchy ~ If the church is anything it’s consistent throughout history.
