Clemente VIII
Pope Clement VIII, who reigned from 1592 to 1605, is known for his significant role in the Counter-Reformation and his efforts to unify the Catholic Church. He was one of the early popes to utilize the 'in pectore' designation for cardinals, a practice that allowed him to appoint cardinals in secret for various reasons, including political safety.
