Who succeeded Gregory after his resignation?
Martin V
Eugene IV
Paul II
Sixtus IV
Answer
Martin V succeeded Gregory XII as the Pope after his resignation. The Western Schism, characterized by rival claimants to the papacy, plagued the Catholic Church during that period. In 1415, the Council of Constance was convened to address the crisis. Gregory's abdication, along with the deposition of rival claimants Benedict XIII and John XXIII, paved the way for Martin V's election and the restoration of papal unity.
