The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- His intellectualism and advocacy of science education earned him the nickname "the Enlightenment Pope".
- Perhaps one of the best scholars to sit on the papal throne, yet often overlooked, he promoted scientific learning, the Baroque arts, reinvigoration of Thomism, and the study of the human form.
- Firmly committed to carrying out the decrees of the Council of Trent and Catholic teaching, Benedict removed changes previously made to the Breviary, sought peacefully to reverse growing secularism in European courts, invigorated ceremonies with great pomp, and throughout his life and his reign published numerous theological and ecclesiastical treatises.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Pope Benedict XIV article was read about 41,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
