Which Pope called Frederick II an Antichrist?
Pope Innocent III
Pope Gregory IX
Pope Alexander IV
Pope Urban II
Answer
Pope Gregory IX was the first pope to call Frederick II an Antichrist. This was due to Frederick's refusal to accept the pope's authority and his support for the Hohenstaufen dynasty, which the pope saw as a threat to the Church. Gregory also accused Frederick of heresy and of plotting to overthrow the papacy.
