In the Middle Ages, it was widely believed that once, a woman had been pope. The tale of Pope Joan (or sometimes Pope Agnes?), who had disguised herself as a man in order to sit in the Vatican, was universally known for centuries, and to this day, still has its believers. Apparently, graphic rituals were installed upon the election of a new pope to make sure no woman infiltrated the papacy ever again. But there's a real story of a woman pope - and it's way more interesting.

What would you say if you were crouched under the sede pertusa, verifying the Pope's manhood?

An interesting alternate origin for the Pope Joan myth, which I didn't discover until I was nearly finished editing this video: https://www.detroitcatholic.com/news/pope-joan-old-rituals-wild-imaginations-led-to-legend-archivist-says
