The Pope Who Put a Corpse on Trial: The Cadaver Synod

In 897 AD, the Catholic Church staged one of the most grotesque trials in history — dragging the rotting corpse of Pope Formosus into court to stand trial. In this episode, we dive into the bizarre spectacle known as the Cadaver Synod, exploring the politics, paranoia, and power struggles that led to one of the darkest — and strangest — moments in papal history.
