Podcasts about Pope Formosus

Join us this week as Hannah talks about Pope Formosus and The Cadaver Synod.

Charlemagne, The Father of Europe, died in the year 814 and left only one surviving son to take the helm of the Carolingian Empire, which spanned the lion's share of the European continent. But his heir, Louis the Pious, had three sons, who each got a parcel of the empire when he died. Then those kings had children of their own, dividing the kingdom up until factions and branches of Charlemagne's lineage occupied independent power centers from the border of modern Denmark all the way down to Italy south of Rome. Our story today involves several of those Carolingian kings, and two priests who would become popes. Bishop Formosus served the Vatican as a diplomat on numerous missions in Europe, developing close ties to the Frankish kings to the north of Rome, the sons of the sons of Charlemagne. When his winding road to the Papacy finally made him Pope Formosus, he found himself at odds - even militarily - with the southern wing of the family, the Dukes of Spoleto, the sons of the daughters of Charlemagne. After Formosa's death, the Dukes of Spoleto reasserted their power, installing a new pope, Stephen VI, who exacted the southern family's revenge on Formosus and their northern kin by exhuming Formosus's rotten corpse and holding an infamously gruesome public trial. Formosus was obviously convicted, but the episode condemned Stephen VI in the moment and for the ages. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast.

THE VATICAN ARCHIVES 1. The Chief Exorcist of the Vatican Performed 100,000+ Exorcisms Although exorcism is believed to be a practice only seen in horror movies and is the Middle Ages, the practice continues to be alive in the Catholic Church. Father Gabriele Amorth is a late Priest and served as the chief exorcist of the Vatican. He served for 60 years, and is believed to have performed approximately 160,000 exorcisms. The exorcism rite, however, is not just limited to the late chief exorcist. It has been performed by various Popes over the years. In 2018, BBC reported that the Vatican welcomed 250 priests from across the world to an annual workshop. 2. The Vatican Helped Nazi War Criminals Escape the Allied Forces After the victory of the Allied Forces in Germany to end World War II, the Nazis were forced to seek refuge outside Europe. Thousands of Nazis managed to escape to South American countries, specifically Argentina, Chile, and Brazil. Harvard researcher Gerald Steinacher wrote a book that shows travel documents pointing to the Vatican having helped the Nazis travel to these countries. Steinacher argues that it was done with the hope of reviving European Christianity and fear of the growing influence of the Soviet Union. The Vatican, however, has refused to comment on these claims. 3. The Vatican Made Money from the Holocaust In addition to aiding the escape of thousands of Nazis from Europe, the Vatican was also involved in helping smuggle Nazi looted art, golf, and other property belonging to Jewish families.  Gerald Posner, an American journalist, says that Bernardino Nogara, the financial advisor to the Vatican is believed to have been one of Nazi spies. He is believed to have instituted a horrifying scheme that allowed the Vatican to invest money in Italian insurance companies that kept the assets from the life insurance plans of the murdered Jewish families. Since the Vatican was an investor and not a direct insurer, they did not need to return any of the money made using the scheme. 4. Scandals of the Vatican Bank The Vatican Bank, also called the Institute for the Works of Religion (IOR) has been involved in numerous scandals.  The most controversial is their dealing with Hitler. Gerald Posner, a historian, points out that the Vatican received Church Tax from Hitler every year.  A substantial amount of money was paid to the IOR, so that it cannot be tracked by western banks. The IOR was used to store billions of dollars, the details of which have never been publicly revealed. 5. Vatileaks A book named ‘His Holiness' was released in 2012, which is based on the leaked secret papers of Pope Benedict. The private documents were leaked by Benedict XVI's own butler to the author, Gianluigi Nuzzi. After reviewing these documents, an internal investigation was held. The investigation revealed that individuals who were not from the Vaitcan were blackmailing gay bishops since they had broken their celibacy vows. Pope Benedict CVI went on to resign from the Papacy in 2013 due to this scandal.  6. The Apostolic Penitentiary The Apostolic Penitentiary is a secret tribunal that investigates so-called ‘heinous' crimes of individuals. It was supposedly found in 1179, and was kept secret until 2009. Only the pope can grant absolution to people brought to this tribunal. Examples of sins include attempting to assassinate the pope, a priest exposing the sin or identity of a person who has confessed to them, and so on. The pope acts as the head of this tribunal, and is called the Major Penitentiary, and can either offer absolution, or let the automatic excommunication stand.  7. Dead Man on Trial In 897 AD, the Catholic Church put a dead man on trial. Known as the 'Cadaver Synod,' the posthumous trial of Pope Formosus was held by Pope Stephen VI, his successor. Formosus was accused of usurping the papacy,  despite being dead for 7 months by that point. The body of the pope was exhumed, dressed in ecclesiastical attire, and brought to the papal court for judgment. A deacon was even appointed to speak on the dead Pope's behalf. He was found guilty; all his acts as pope was declared null and void; his body was stripped off the garments and dressed in rags; his three fingers of benediction were cut off and his body was cast into River Tiber, where ancient Romans disposed off their infamous criminals for centuries.   Conspiracy Theories About the Vatican's Secret Archives 1. Jesus Does Not Exist There are reports that the Archives contain communication between Emperor Nero and Saint Paul regarding the existence of Jesus. Some clergy believe that the Vatican is hiding proof that Jesus Christ did not exist.  2. Evidence of Extraterrestrial Life Rumors suggest that the Vatican holds proof of the existence of extraterrestrial life, in the form of extraterrestrial skulls. Some sources say that the Archives contain proof that the pope is conspiring extraterrestrial beings to implant everyone on Earth with computer chips.  3. Three Secrets of Fatima The controversial Third Secret of Fatima is believed to be a secret document hidden within the Archives. In 1917, three children from Portugal received prophecies, one of which was witnessed by thousands of people. The supposed suppression of this Third Secret fueled rumors that its contents were regarding a nuclear holocaust, natural disaster, and so on. The release of the contents of this Secret in 2000 did not do much to quell speculation.  4. Home to the Largest Collection of Pornography Some conspiracy theorists believe that the Vatican Archives contain the largest collection of pornography in the world. Copenhagen's Museum of Erotica confirms these speculations, in addition to writings by National Review founder William Buckley Jr, and scholar Camilla Paglia.  5. They are Controlled by the Illuminati Some people believe that despite their dissolution in the medieval times, the Illuminati has solely built itself up, with its members placed in some of the most powerful positions across the world. One such powerful office is the Vatican, where many of its prominent members are believed to be part of the Illuminati.  6. It is Home to a Time Machine Believed to have been built by an Italian scientist and priest, Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti, the Chronovisor is a device that apparently allows people to view the future and past. Although there is no record of such a device, some people believe it is hidden somewhere in the Archives.

Welcome back metalheads to a brand new metal album review on The Great Metal Debate podcast. Originally I had planned to review the new album from the Netherlands black metal band Asagraum, but I found something at the last second that completely blew that away. Thanks to the website Angry Metal Guy, I spotted an album cover that intrigued me enough to check it out; especially since the artwork depicts a very weird moment in history. In 897AD, Pope Stephen VI dug up the 9 month old corpse of his predecessor Pope Formosus, dressed him up and brought him to a court trial. You can't always judge a CD by its album cover but to my delightful surprise, the band in question is a wonderful cross between melodic death metal and folk metal. Hey Gomthog, I am 100% certain that you would fall in love with this Denmark based band called Sylvatica and their new album titled Cadaver Synod. This amazing release was dropped on October 20th through Target Records. This is my introduction to the band but they have apparently been around since 2009 and I'm just now hearing of them. The opening track "Strife" starts off with a church sounding organ that sounds ominous in an upbeat sort of way. The guitars coming in behind it with those groovy melodies pretty much tell you exactly what you're getting into. While the vocal style isn't really my type, the music definitely makes up for it. The harsh vocals of the lead guitarist Jarden sounds like he would be in the dwarf themed folk metal band Windrose and the backing shout vocals of bassist Thomas Haxen give off that extra folky feel. Next we have the song "Papa Poltergeist" which has the higher ping notes on a keyboard and strange synths behind the riffs make it the perfect music for any Halloween party. Especially the beginning of the song "Scapegoat" which has the perfect spooky vibe and it reminds me of Scooby-Doo and the gang walking through a graveyard. I love how it has an almost 80s power metal guitar riff in it which sounds larger than life. My only critique is that the word "Scapegoat" gets shouted a little too much making it the most repetitious song on the album, but not enough to annoy me. It's still an easy listen that never really feels like a drag. I skipped over a few tracks to make that point but let's go back to the song "Pope Innocent VIII" as I believe it to be another highlight of this album. The very audible keyboards used throughout this album isn't credited by the metal-archives (my main source of information) so I don't know exactly who to praise. However I will say that it's my favorite part of this gorgeous album. Then we have a track titled "Song of the Leper" which is a beautiful folk metal song complete with a full choir. The first lyric of the song is "Spare a coin for your leper ..." which should remind most people of that viral song from the Netflix show The Witcher. If you don't immediately think of "Toss a coin to your witcher" when you hear it, then maybe you're not keeping up on modern pop culture references. The album concludes with an acoustic version of the song and I can't decide which one I enjoy more. But let's not forget the song before the bonus track. "In The Eyes Of God" has a lot of power metal influence musically but the vocals have more of the melodic death metal tone that I more than approve of. That acoustic part before the final guitar solo was very pleasing to my ears. Again, this band was a very pleasant surprise and I'm glad I stumbled upon them. I will be listening to their previous 2 records Evil Seeds and Ash And Snow for sure after recording this review because I might be missing out of some great material that I should be catching up on. I give this one a 8.5 out of 10. Make sure you buy this record on Bandcamp and show your support for these guys. They are a hidden gem that unfortunately many people might end up skipping over. If you're listening to this review, I can't recommend enough that you give these guys a chance.

Adam spills the beans on Pope John XII....and they're some spicy beans. If we're going to hell then we'll see at least one of these guys there.

It wasn't easy being in a position of power in 10th Century Europe. But for Italy and the papacy, it was even worse - for a long period, the pope of the Catholic Church was the only person to have authority to crown the next Holy Roman Emperor. Because this was such a powerful position, many people were willing to kill for it.Sometimes a new pope would pass decrees undoing certain rules of previous popes, or to promote their own personal or political gain. But the case of Pope Formosus was different - he was made to answer for his alleged crimes after his death, by (literally) exhuming his dead body and putting him on trial. 

Off with their heads!!! But not before you listen to this episode. This episode we take a look at three examples of posthumous trials and executions. You heard right, posthumous. We cover what happened to Oliver Cromwell, Gilles van Ledenberg, and Pope Formosus and the Cadaver Synod after their deaths. Because even in death, they couldn't escape pissed off and powerful enemies. Things get messy on this episode of Under the Pendulum Podcast.    Sources:  Formosus Sources https://daily.jstor.org/the-cadaver-synod-putting-a-dead-pope-on-trial/ http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/Medievaltrials/The_Body_of_Pope_Formosus.pdf https://www.medievalists.net/2017/07/cadaver-synod-low-point-history-papacy/ Guerra, Stephen.

Episode 116n A Very Cadaver Synod Christmas – Again!Description: All the way back in 2019, a much simpler pre-pandemic time, Dr. Max Gulker and I presented you a unique Christmas present. That year, we looked at the Cadaver Synod and the Dark Ages Papacy from the lens of an economist. This year, Max and I are joined by Dr. William S. Monroe. Dr. Monroe is the subject librarian for Medieval Studies and other related subjects at Brown University. While doing that, he also completed a Phd from Columbia University, with a focus on the life, career and afterlife of Pope Formosus of the Cadaver Synod fame. Dr. Monroe wrote the book on the Cadaver Synod. Almost any video, cartoon or anything you read or watch will have used Dr. Monroe's years of research on the Cadaver Synod as a main source. After the first Cadaver Synod episode, Max and I had so many questions hanging out there, we had to talk to the man himself! Dr. Max Gulker is a multiple time guest of the History of the Papacy Podcast. He is a Senior Fellow at the Reason Foundation. He holds a Phd in Economics from Stanford and his research focus is on poverty and social policy. I am very honored to be joined by Dr. William Monroe and Dr. Max Gulker. I really think you will enjoy this episode and I wish you a Merry Christmas! Share the present of the Cadaver Synod with your friends and family. They will never be able to thank you enough for sharing this incredible piece of history!About Today's Guests:Dr. William S.

* According to the Global Language Monitor, every 98 minutes a new word is created somewhere in the world. * You could be forgiven if you've never heard of Pope Formosus, but the details of his career are fascinating. In 872, while serving as Cardinal Bishop of Portus, he was a candidate for the papacy, but due to some political issues, he left Rome later that year. Pope John VIII ordered Formosus' excommunication for, among other things, deserting his diocese without papal permission, despoiling the cloisters in Rome and conspiring with “certain iniquitous men and women for the destruction of...Article Link

Here we have a pope who condemned a predecessor who had dug up a dead pope and put his body on trial – no big deal. He also reigned longer than most of his immediate predecessors and successors – but was still only in office for 2 years. Times were tough in the late 9th Century.
