Video Description
In one of the most bizarre events in church history, Pope Stephen VI exhumed the dead body of his predecessor, dressed it in papal robes, and put it on trial. What followed was a wild political charade that shocked Rome and backfired in a spectacular way. This episode we dive into the Cadaver Synod, a story of power, revenge, and how far people are willing to go to rewrite history.
