Description

The Catholic Church has done some strange things in its history, but I think this might be the weirdest! The 8 and 900s were kind of like the hunger games but for the Catholic Church, and within a span of a few years, they were six dead popes, one dead king, the first assassination, and possibly the second assassination in the Catholic Church's history. In this episode, we uncover how the heck this could possibly happen, and why a pope was dug up and put on trial. So what are you waiting for?

I'm TK, your guide to the past as we uncover the people, events, and little-known-facts hidden in the shadows of your old history textbooks. From empress baddies to activist profiles, turkey gods and the history of the toothbrush, tattoos, Pompeii peepees, and everything in between, you can find it all here. There is no telling how far we'll dig or how many "historical facts" we'll reexamine. No event too small and no topic too big, because this is For The Love of History.
