Marinus II (born, Rome—died April/May 946, Rome) was the pope from 942 to 946. He was a priest when nominated by the senator Alberic II, marquess of Spoleto. Marinus’ pontificate was subsequently dictated by Alberic, leaving Marinus little room for political or economic innovation. He managed, however, to work for church reform, contributing mainly to discipline and monasticism.
