And how about that fun loving Pope Stephen VI [View All]

[BOSSHOG]

One of the most bizarre loose ends was the "cadaver synod" after the election in 896 of the insanely vengeful Stephen VI. He harbored so much anger at a Predecessor, Pope Formosus, that he had his corpse exhumed. Formosus decomposing body was dressed in Papal Vestments, propped on a throne and put on trial for crimes against church law. Unable to mount a defense, Formosus ghastly remains were convicted. The three fingers Formosus used to bless the faithful were hacked from his right hand. His body was dragged away and thrown in the Tiber River.
