Eh, it's out there. By its nature, it's not something that tends to make itself well known.
Pope Celestine V was just a guy living in a cave. The Papal elections were dragging out, and he sent a letter to the council saying divine vengeance would come down if they didn't make a decision soon. So they elected him.
He sucked at the job, because pope's need to know politics and administration just as much as religious matters. Living in a cave doesn't prepare you for that. He's one of the few pope's who resigned.
