Your answer was: Pope Boniface VIII. |
Answer: Pope Boniface VIII began the tradition of the Holy Year, known as a Jubilee, in 1300. He intended that a Holy Year would be celebrated every 100 years, but Pope Paul III, in 1470, changed to cycle to every 25 years. Pope Frances made an exception and proclaimed 2016 a special Holy Year.
