When The Pope Went Full Goblin Mode
Podcast: Softcore HistoryRating: Explicit Published On: Mon Jan 06 2025
Description: Pope Benedict IX is often regarded as one of the worst men to take the papal throne. He ascended to the chair of Saint Peter at the age of twenty in 1032 after his old man bought him the position and he proceeded to indulge in habitual sins of the flesh, theft, murder, and even sold his power to the highest bidder. Benny was pontiff three times over the stretch of 16 years, survived assassination attempts and coups, and turned the vatican into a brothel. Find out why many in the Catholic Church refer to him as "a demon from hell disguised in priest clothing."
