Giovanni Vincenzo Antonio Ganganelli was born on 31 October 1705, the only Franciscan friar in the College of Cardinals when he was elected pope on 19 May 1769. He took the name Clement XIV. The Bourbon monarchies of France, Spain, and Portugal had been demanding the elimination of the Jesuits for years, viewing them as too independent and politically meddlesome. Clement resisted, then yielded. His pontificate lasted five years, ending with his death on 22 September 1774. No pope since has taken the name Clement.
