Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.)

How bad must the Popes in Rome have been for a whole time period in the history of the papacy to be called "The Pornocracy"? Is it all protestant slander, or were the popes in the Middle Ages so twisted that the term was justified? Either way, we see a time period so horrible for the Church, that the institution as we know it might have gone down in flames.

Prepare yourself for murder, sex, scandal and the trial of a corpse.
