Pope Francis Current Events Part 5

[Cyradis]

Ok, I was thinking more in general about the last Jubilee year, even if it wasn't an ordinary Jubilee. Here in Rome we called it the 2015 Jubilee and for me it was a full-fledged Jubilee, maybe oversimplifying

 

[An Ard Ri]

Since 1900 the Great Jubilee Years have as followed :

1. 1900: Leo XIII
2. 1925: Pius XI
3. 1950: Pius XII
4. 1975: Paul VI
5. 2000: John Paul II
6. 2025: Francis
