Pope Leo VI (died February 929) was Pope for just over seven months, from June 928 to his death in February 929. His pontificate occurred during the period known as the Saeculum obscurum.
Leo VI was born into Roman family, and his father was Christophorus, who had been Primicerius under Pope John VIII around the year 876. Tradition has it that he was a member of the Sanguini family. Just immediately prior to his election as pope, Leo had been serving as the Cardinal-Priest of the church of Santa Susanna.
Leo was elected pope around June 928, during a period of anarchy. He was chosen by the senatrix Marozia, who had gained control of Rome via the domination of her husband Guy, Margrave of Tuscany, and who had ordered the imprisonment and death of Leo’s predecessor, Pope John X.
During his brief pontificate, Leo confirmed the decisions of the Synod of Split. He completed his predecessor’s investigations into the ecclesiastical situation in Dalmatia, and proceeded to give the pallium to John, Archbishop of Salona, and ordered all the bishops of Dalmatia to obey him. He also ordered the Bishop of Nona and others to limit themselves to the extent of their dioceses. Leo then issued a ban on castrati entering into a union of marriage. He also issued an appeal for help against the Arab raiders who were threatening Rome, stating that:
Wanna be my party boy,
Wanna be my special toy.
Your eyes make me shiver and,
Your body makes me jump for joy.
You're getting far to hot to flirt,
I don't think you'll need a shirt.
Shut your mouth and get it on,
Vee sha shore and my skirt.
So tell me now, do i come here often?
Pina colada boy, you make the girls go ahh.
And when the sun goes down you make my world feel round.
Pina colada boy, you make the girls go ahh.
But when the suns back high baby I wave bye bye.
I could see you love the chance,
To be my holly day romance.
I really need another drink,
And I'd like to watch you dance.
Pretty eyes in all the chast,
Baby let's tap on the gas.
You know how that saying goes,
About what happened if they guess.
(you naughty boy go to my room)
So tell me now, do i come here often?
Pina colada boy, you make the girls go ahh.
And when the sun goes down you make my world feel round.
Pina colada boy, you make the girls go ahh.
But when the suns back high baby I wave bye bye.
So tell me now, do you come here often?
Pina colada boy, you make the girls go ahh.
And when the sun goes down you make my world feel round.
Pina colada boy, you make the girls go ahh.
