Pope John XIV
Pope John XIV, who reigned from 983 to 984, notably chose the name John upon his election, a move that was partly motivated by a desire to avoid the title Peter II. This choice reflects the deep respect for St. Peter, the first pope, and the historical significance of the papacy. His brief tenure is remembered for its political complexities during a tumultuous period in the church's history.
