Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >

Shop Stephen VII/VIII
Little about the life and papacy of Stephen is known. He was a Roman and was the cardinal priest of St. Anastasia when he was elected pope in 939, probably through the influence of Marozia, an influential Roman senatrix whose family had controlled papal elections during much of the IX and early X Centuries. She was the mother of John XI and was responsible for deposing John X, who was still alive at the time of Stephen's consecration. Stephen is thought to have been active in the administration of the church while he was a priest, and his few recorded papal actions involve the granting of privileges to some monasteries in France and Italy. Stephen may have been assassinated in 931.
