Ceremonial Carrying of Pope Pius VIII into St Peter's Cathedral in 1829, (1829/1830). Pope Pius VIII (1761-1830) was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States. His pontificate (31 March 1829-30 November 1830) was the shortest in the 19th century. Pius' death less than two years after his election to the papacy led to speculation of possible murder.
