Candidate passages:
After leaving office, former Presidents Martin Van Buren and Millard Fillmore met separately with Pope Pius IX in Rome in 1855.
Pius IX would also meet Franklin Pierce in November 1857.
In 1878, Ulysses S. Grant met Pope Leo XIII in the Vatican.
In April 1910, Theodore Roosevelt sought an audience with Pope Pius X.
The Pope agreed to see him, provided Roosevelt would not call on some Methodist missionaries in Rome.
Roosevelt had no intention of meeting the missionaries, but he declined to submit to Pius X's conditions and the interview did not take place.
Theodore Roosevelt called the entire papal episode, "An elegant row."
"The Meeting of Leo the Great and Attila" depicts the storied parley between the Pope and the Hun conqueror, and includes the legendary images of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the sky bearing swords.
A fully developed drawing by Raphael indicates he planned to place the pope - portrayed with Julius's features - in the background; when Leo X became pope - and just happened to choose the name Leo - he must have encouraged the artist to bring the pope front and center and use his own portrait. 
In reply to the Papal bull "Exsurge Domine" of Pope Leo X (1520), Martin Luther burned the document and appealed for a general council.
In 1522 German diets joined in the appeal, with Charles V seconding and pressing for a council as a means of reunifying the Church and settling the Reformation controversies.
Pope Clement VII (1523–34) was vehemently against the idea of a council, agreeing with Francis I of France.
After Pope Pius II, in his bull "Execrabilis" (1460) and his reply to the University of Cologne (1463), set aside the theory of the supremacy of general councils laid down by the Council of Constance.
Pope Paul III (1534–49), seeing that the Protestant Reformation was no longer confined to a few preachers, but had won over various princes, particularly in Germany, to its ideas, desired a council.
Yet when he proposed the idea to his cardinals, it was almost unanimously opposed.
Nonetheless, he sent nuncios throughout Europe to propose the idea.
Paul III issued a decree for a general council to be held in Mantua, Italy, to begin on 23 May 1537.
Martin Luther wrote the Smalcald Articles in preparation for the general council.
The Smalcald Articles were designed to sharply define where the Lutherans could and could not compromise.
The council was ordered by the Emperor and Pope Paul III to convene in Mantua on 23 May 1537.
It failed to convene after another war broke out between France and Charles V, resulting in a non-attendance of French prelates.
Protestants, just defeated by Charles V, refused to attend as well.
Financial difficulties in Mantua led the Pope in the autumn of 1537 to move the council to Vicenza, where participation was poor.
The Council was postponed indefinitely on 21 May 1539.
Pope Paul III then initiated several internal Church reforms while Emperor Charles V convened a meeting with Protestants in Regensburg, seat of the German diet, to reconcile differences.
Unity failed between Catholic and Protestant representatives "because of different concepts of "Church" and "justification"".
However, the council was delayed until 1545 and, as it happened, convened right before Luther's death.
Unable, however, to resist the urging of Charles V, the pope, after proposing Mantua as the place of meeting, convened the council at Trento (at that time a free city of the Holy Roman Empire under a prince-bishop), on 13 December 1545; the Pope's decision to transfer it to Bologna in March, 1547 on the pretext of avoiding a plague failed to take effect and the Council was indefinitely prorogued on 17 September 1549.
None of the three popes reigning over the duration of the council ever attended, which had been a condition of Charles V. Papal legates were appointed to represent the Papacy.
Reopened at Trento on 1 May 1551 by convocation of Pope Julius III (1550–5), it was broken up by the sudden victory of Maurice, Elector of Saxony over the Emperor Charles V and his march into surrounding state of Tirol on 28 April 1552.
There was no hope of reassembling the council while the very anti-Protestant Paul IV was Pope.
The council was reconvened by Pope Pius IV (1559–65) for the last time, meeting from 18 January 1562, and continued until its final adjournment on 4 December 1563.
It closed with a series of ritual acclamations honouring the reigning Pope, the Popes who had convoked the Council, the emperor and the kings who had supported it, the papal legates, the cardinals, the ambassadors present, and the bishops, followed by acclamations of acceptance of the faith of the Council and its decrees, and of anathema for all heretics.
The history of the council is thus divided into three distinct periods: 1545–49, 1551–52 and 1562–63.
During the second period, the Protestants present asked for renewed discussion on points already defined and for bishops to be released from their oaths of allegiance to the Pope.
When the last period began, all hope of conciliating the Protestants was gone and the Jesuits had become a strong force.
The number of attending members in the three periods varied considerably.
The council was small to begin with, opening with only about 30 bishops.
It increased toward the close, but never reached the number of the First Council of Nicaea (which had 318 members) nor of the First Vatican Council (which numbered 744).
The decrees were signed in 1563 by 255 members, the highest attendance of the whole council, including four papal legates, two cardinals, three patriarchs, twenty-five archbishops, and 168 bishops, two-thirds of whom were Italians.
The Italian and Spanish prelates were vastly preponderant in power and numbers.
At the passage of the most important decrees, not more than sixty prelates were present.
The French monarchy boycotted the entire council until the last minute; a delegation led by Charles de Guise, Cardinal of Lorraine finally arrived in November 1562.
The first outbreak of the French Wars of Religion had been earlier in the year, and the French had experience of a significant and powerful Protestant minority, iconoclasm and tensions leading to violence in a way the Italians and Iberians did not.
Among other influences, the last minute inclusion of a decree on sacred images was a French initiative, and the text, never discussed on the floor of the council or referred to council theologians, was based on a French draft. 
Esteban Gabriel Merino was born in Santisteban del Puerto, ca.
1472, the son of Alonso Merino and Mayor de Amorcuende, a family of the lowest condition.
His father died when he was very young.
He went to Rome with a priest who was a family friend.
He entered the household of Cardinal Ascanio Sforza, initially occupying minor positions.
He later joined the ecclesiastical estate after obtaining a dispensation from Pope Alexander VI for having caused the death of a cleric while playing with a sword.
In spring 1500, during the Italian War of 1499–1504, he was in Lombardy with Cardinal Sforza during the French invasion.
He ended up in prison in Bourges with Cardinal Sforza; while there, he learned French.
He was freed on January 3, 1502, then traveled to Rome to act as Cardinal Sforza's procurator for dealing with the Fugger Bank.
He was a conclavist for Cardinal Sforza at the papal conclave of September 1503 that elected Pope Pius III and at the papal conclave of October 1503 that elected Pope Julius II.
He became the cardinal's secretary around this time.
In 1504, he was made a protonotary apostolic.
Following Cardinal Sforza's death on May 28, 1505, he received the patronage of Cardinal Francesco Alidosi and of Pope Julius II who sent him in August 1506 to the Republic of Florence to seek military assistanceagainst Bologna.
He was present at Nepi along with Cardinals Alidosi and Francesco Soderini for the meeting of Pope Julius II with the Florentine envoy, Niccolò Machiavelli.
A month later, the pope despatched him to meet with Ferdinand II of Aragon.
The pope then made him canon and archdeacon of Baeza, and made him his chamberlain and nuncio.
In July 1507, he again met Ferdinand II of Aragon and negotiated the League of Cambrai against the Republic of Venice.
In summer 1509, he accompanied Cardinal Alidosi on a diplomatic mission to Louis XII of France in Milan, and then accompanied Cardinal Alidosi on his legation to Bologna.
Returning to Rome, he had a letter addressed from Cardinal Alidosi to the Apostolic Dataria, dated February 24, 1511, that secured for Merino the post of apostolic "scriptor".
After the death of Cardinal Alidosi and Pope Julius II, he entered the service of Cardinal Marco Cornaro.
He was Cardinal Cornaro's conclavist at the papal conclave of 1513 that elected Pope Leo X.
The new pope took Merino into the papal household and tried (unsuccessfully) to make him Bishop of Leiden.
On the pope's initiative, he was elected Archbishop of Bari on May 9, 1513, while retaining the office of apostolic "scriptor".
He attended all meetings of the Fifth Council of the Lateran (1512-17) following his elevation to the episcopate.
On May 1, 1514, he was named palatine count.
He generally ruled the archdiocese of Bari through a vicar general, Luis de Mexia, visiting the archdiocese for the first time on May 1, 1514.
Towards the end of 1514, he was ordained as a priest and then consecrated as a bishop.
On December 17, 1516, he was named Bishop of León, while retaining the archdiocese of Bari.
He occupied the see until June 12, 1523.
In 1517, Archbishop Merino helped broker a deal with the pope's enemy Cardinal Alfonso Petrucci.
He was also instrumental in rallying Siena to the papal cause during the War of Urbino.
In March 1520, he left for a visit of the Diocese of León, thus beginning an unplanned 13-year absence from the papal court.
During the Revolt of the Comuneros, he successfully kept León loyal to Charles I of Spain.
He also played a role in maintaining the loyalty of Murcia, Úbeda and Baeza.
In 1522, he was nuncio to Francis I of France, with orders to travel to the Kingdom of England if necessary.
His mission was initially to negotiate peace between Francis I of France and Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.
He later accompanied Pope Adrian VI in his trip from Vitoria to Tortosa.
On June 12, 1523, Charles I of Spain named him Bishop of Jaén, with permission to retain the see of Bari (which he did until September 2, 1530).
During the Italian War of 1521–1526, Pope Adrian VI in 1523 allied with imperial forces when threatened with another French invasion.
After Pope Adrian VI died on September 14, 1523, Archbishop Merino's nunciature ended and he passed into the service of the Holy Roman Emperor.
From November 1523 to May 1524, he was the principal negotiator between Charles V and Francis I.
In 1526, the emperor admitted the archbishop to his Council of State.
He was later named supplier general of the armada that was designed to take the emperor to Italy.
He left Barcelona with the emperor on August 2, 1529, disembarking in Genoa ten days later.
On October 8, 1529, he was named imperial ambassador to the Holy See, with orders to speed the imperial coronation, prepare Italy for Spanish invasion, and to obtain support for Ferdinand of Austria in his fight against the Ottoman Empire.
On November 5, 1529, he entered Bologna with the emperor, where the coronation took place on February 24, 1530.
In March 1530, he accompanied the emperor to Germany.
On September 2, 1530, he was named Patriarch of the West Indies.
He spent much of 1531 ill with dropsy.
In spring 1532, he settled with the imperial court at Regensburg, the headquarters of forces arrayed against the Ottoman Empire; he was the general supplier of the enterprise.
During the second interview with Pope Clement VII at Bologna, he was one of three ministers tasked with dealing with the religious situation in Germany, along with Cardinals Alessandro Farnese, and Paolo Emilio Cesi.
At the request of the emperor, Pope Clement VII made him a cardinal priest in the consistory of February 21, 1533.
He received the red hat and the titular church of San Vitale on March 3, 1533.
He generally represented Spanish interests in the College of Cardinals, replacing Cardinal García de Loaysa, who had returned to Spain.
In that capacity, his main goals were: (1) preventing the divorce of Henry VIII of England and Catherine of Aragon; and (2) impeding the meeting of Pope Clement VII and Francis I of France for the wedding of Henry, Duke of Orléans and Catherine de' Medici.
He succeeded in the first but failed in the second task.
He also failed in his ambition to become Archbishop of Toledo or pope.
On September 5, 1534, he opted for the titular church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo.
He participated in the papal conclave of 1534 that elected Pope Paul III.
He was named Bishop of Gaeta on February 17, 1535, and administrator of the see of Bovino on April 15, 1535.
He died in Rome, at his palace in "piazza di Pasquino", on July 28, 1535.
He was initially buried in Nostra Signora del Sacro Cuore.
His remains were later transferred to Santa Maria in Monserrato degli Spagnoli. 
On June 10, 1898, her confessor at the Good Shepherd monastery wrote to Pope Leo XIII stating that Sister Mary of the Divine Heart had received a message from Christ, requesting the pope to consecrate the entire world to the Sacred Heart.
The pope initially did not believe her and took no action.
However, on January 6, 1899 she wrote another letter, asking that in addition to the consecration, the first Fridays of the month be observed in honor of the Sacred Heart.
In the letter she also referred to the recent illness of the pope and stated that Christ had assured her that Pope Leo XIII would live until he had performed the consecration to the Sacred Heart.
Theologian Laurent Volken states that this had an emotional impact on Leo XIII, despite the theological issues concerning the consecration of non-Christians.
Pope Leo XIII commissioned an inquiry on the basis of her revelation and Church tradition.
In his 1899 encyclical letter "Annum Sacrum", Leo XIII decreed that the consecration of the entire human race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus should take place on June 11, 1899.
In the encyclical "Annum Sacrum", Pope Leo XIII referred to the illness about which Sister Mary had written, stating:"There is one further reason that urges us to realize our design; We do not want it to pass by unnoticed.
It is personal in nature but just as important: God the author of all Good has saved us by healing us recently from a dangerous disease.
"Pope Leo XIII also composed the Prayer of Consecration to the Sacred Heart and included it in "Annum Sacrum".
Pope Pius X later decreed that this consecration of the human race performed by Pope Leo XIII be renewed each year.
