“Pope Joan”, Reloaded

Filed under: Culture, Sexuality, Truth & Revelation — shelray @ 8:32 pm
“Pope Joan won her election as pope under the name John in 855 (some say 1100). After reigning less than three years, she bore a child during a papal procession and died immediately, either from childbirth or stoning.”

Although this is a myth and has been disproved by historians, this scandalous legend is reborn again, but its relevance has been renewed by the clamor for women’s ordination and contemporary enthusiasm for gender-bending.  Joan even found her way into the tarot as the popess trump, thanks to the example of the Gugliemites, an Italian sect suppressed in 1300 that worshiped a female incarnation of the Holy Spirit led by a popess and cardinalettes. To no one’s surprise, Pope Joan.com claims a MAJOR movie is forthcoming . Maybe if they hurry, they could have an old fashioned double feature with the daaah Vinci hoax .
