Pomp and Pius Popes

The MacGregor’s post yesterday,  Cartagena’s Inquisition Palace, makes reference to three notable persons, note from their wiki pages:

• Pope Gregory IX (born Ugolino di Conti; died – 22 August 1241)
• Pope Pius IV (31 March 1499 – 9 December 1565)
• Gina Cheri Haspel (née Walker;^[4] born 1956) 

The dates speak volumes... not to mention the name Gregory is a cryptic “great grey gory”... and is in the MacGregor’s name as well.   Haspel doesn’t have a wiki page, and so a prompt for us to investigate her predecessor:

Preceded by	Mike Pompeo

Do note the “Pomp” in his surname... jives with “Pius”.  Hmmm “pomp and pius Pope’s”

• Michael Richard Pompeo (born December 30, 1963) 

His birthday is an addition to the cluster in my previous post:

• “January 30, __, March 30(x2), April 30(x3), May 30, __, __, __, __, October 30(x6), November 30, December 30/ 30th Day, Month Sequence” pattern-cluster.  

Slowly butt surely the gaps are being bridged
