Pope Celestine II
From Free net encyclopedia
Celestine II, born Guido di Castello (died March 8, 1144), was Pope from 1143 to 1144. He was elected in 1143, governed the Church only five months and thirteen days, died March 8, 1144, and was buried at the Lateran.
He had studied under Pierre Abélard. The principal act of his Papacy was the absolution of Louis VII of France (1137–80) at the request of that penitent monarch, and the removal of the interdict under which that country had lain for three years.
