Then there were four


Black Popes Adolfo Nicholas (current) Peter Hans Kolvenbach (former)


Pope Francis meets Pope emeritus Benedict XV

Jorge Bergoglio was elected Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church on 3/13/2013, and Nicolas Pachon was elected Superior General (Black Pope) on January 14, 2008. With the abdication of Joseph Ratzinger on February 11 of this year, and Peter Hans Kolvenbach's (the previous Superior General of the Jesusits) resignation in Janurary of 2008;  There are now 4.
Joseph Ratzinger is Pope Emeritus in Rome, and Peter Han Kolvenbach is retired (in Lebanon).  That equals 2 White Popes and 2 Black Popes, at once in totality.
