Before becoming pope, Clement IV served as the bishop of which location?

  • Le Puy

  • Rome

  • Avignon

  • Milan

Answer

The answer is "Le Puy". Clement IV, born Guy Foulques, served as the bishop of Le Puy-en-Velay in south-central France before his election as pope. During his time as bishop from 1257 to 1260, he demonstrated his administrative skills and commitment to social welfare, which likely contributed to his later rise to the papacy.
