POPE EYE

Pope Pius IX (1792-1878) was said to possess the power of the 'Evil Eye'. Admittedly not quite the same as in witchcraft where a sorceror's unwavering gaze could curse a victim. Dear old Pius was believed to cause havoc unwittingly. Bad fortune could befall those he 'blessed'.

It's not known whether the current Pontiff has similar qualities though I believe he has the cold dead eyes of a killer.
