There was once a female pope.
Funny thing was that anyone who knew (and someone had to have, really, I'd think!) kept quiet....I recall reading the mistake was discovered after her death, or somewhere similar in that time. _________________ But if you tame me, then we shall need each other....You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.

You're talking about Pope Joan, a fun legend, but it's not true I read the book Pope Joan recently; it was a fun read but more like brain-candy than anything else. Yea, they try to make a case for the legend, but others have pretty easily and skillfully demonstrated that it never happened. Laskey |
