Biography
Marin came from the city of Rome and, before becoming a pope, was a priest of the church of St. Kyriac in the Termes of Diocletian . Like its predecessors, was elected with the support of Alberich II . During the period of pontificate, he did not intervene in politics, being engaged exclusively in church affairs. He extended the appointment of Frederick , Archbishop of Mainz, papal vicar throughout Germany and France. Marin intervened when the Bishop of Capua captured a church that belonged to Benedictine monks. Finally, during his pontificate, Marin favored various monasteries, giving them a number of papal bulls. Being a supporter of the Cluny Reform , Marin promoted it in the Roman and Italic Benedictine monasteries. Preserved two messages of Marina II.
Marin occupied the palace built by Pope John VII on the top of the Palatine Hill in the ruins of Domus Gaiana . He died in May 946 .
In some medieval sources, it is not called Marin II, but Martin III. The same sources call Pope Marina I Martin II. This made an error in the list of Roman pontiffs with the name Martin: after Martin I, the next pope who accepted this name was Martin IV .
