| | Innocent III (1198-1216) was by all definitions a pious pope; deeply concerned with the problems of the Muslims, Jews and heresies. | | | It is noteworthy that this Damasus- who, incidentally, was recognized by the church as a saint- was the first pope in history to use the Petrine text in Matthew to support the papacy’s claim of supremacy. | | | While the personal behavior of the popes were better; the intolerance bred by their religious beliefs continued unabated. |

| | In his left hand, the Pope holds the iron of the holy spear which wounded Christ's side on the cross, donated by the Sultan Baiazet in 1492; the point is missing and this was held in the Royal Chapel in Paris until the French Revolution. | | | It is also worth mentioning that Innocent VIII battled with unsuccessful insistence to promote a great crusade. | | | He agreed in 1489 to hold Sultan Bayezid II's brother prisoner in Rome in exchange for a yearly ransom and the Holy Lance of St. Longinus, the spear thrust into Christ's body at the crucifixion. |
