The 5 Living Popes


The Black Popes


Peter Hans Kolvenbach  born November 30, 1928


Adolfo Nichols Pachon  born April 29, 1936


Arturo Sosa Abascal  born November 12, 1948


The White Popes



Benedict XVI (Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger)  born April 16, 1927




Francis  (Jorge Mario Bergoglio)  born December 17, 1936

As far as I know, there have never before been 5 living current and former Popes, as both positions - Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, and Superior General of the Jesuit Order are customarily held until death.
