Manage episode 334033427 series 2996588
Today the Pope is seen as the holiest man in the Catholic world, and Francis seems like a good dude. But when it comes to popes, goodness wasn't always the case. Throughout history, the papacy has been riddled with scandal, murder, thievery, sexual abuse and immense hypocrisy. In today's episode we cover 5 of the most evil Popes ever, as well as some honorable mentions.
Trigger warning: this episode contains discussion of child abuse, rape, incest and violence.
