Icon of person Pope Honorius II

Pope Honorius II (9 February 1060 – 13 February 1130), born Lamberto Scannabecchi, was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 21 December 1124 to his death in 1130. Although from a humble background, his obvious intellect and outstanding abilities saw him promoted up through the ecclesiastical hierarchy. Attached to the Frangipani family of Rome, his election as pope was contested by a rival candidate, Celestine II, and force was used to guarantee his election. Honorius's pontificate was concerned with ensuring that the privileges the Roman Catholic Church had obtained through the Concordat of Worms were preserved and, if possible, extended.

His biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. Pope Honorius II is the 260th most popular religious figure (down from 238th in 2019), the 270th most popular biography from Italy (down from 269th in 2019) and the 120th most popular Italian Religious Figure.

Pope Honorius II is most famous for his role in the controversy over the filioque clause. The filioque clause was a part of the Nicene Creed that said the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. The controversy arose when the Eastern Orthodox Church said that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father only. Pope Honorius II agreed with the Eastern Orthodox Church and said that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father only.
