The Catholic Church has done some strange things in its history, but I think this might be the weirdest! The 8 and 900s were kind of like the hunger games but for the Catholic Church, and within a span of a few years, they were six dead popes, one dead king, the first assassination, and possibly the second assassination in the Catholic Church's history. In this episode, we uncover how the heck this could possibly happen, and why a pope was dug up and put on trial. So what are you waiting for? Press play!!
