The Female Pope: The True Story of Pope Joan
For many centuries it was accepted almost
without discussion that the priesthood, and pastoral work more
generally, was exclusively a male domain. Women had a role within the
Christian Church, as nuns or lay workers, but the giving of the
sacraments was seen as a male preserve. And yet for centuries rumours
and legends have swirled about that one woman did get to be pope in
Rome. The Catholic Church has always denied the stories, but they refuse
to go away. It is now time to look anew at these old stories and try
to discover the truth that lies behind them. In this book Oliver Hayes
looks at the legends of a Female Pope and uncovers the startline truth
that lies behind them.
