The Pope Dug Up and Put on Trial | The Cadaver Synod Explained.

Cadaver Synod explained — the corpse trial that shocked medieval Europe. In AD 897, Pope Stephen VI put his predecessor Pope Formosus on trial after exhumation, seating the body on a throne in Rome’s basilica. This documentary unpacks the politics behind the Synodus Horrenda: factional warfare, papal legitimacy, and why a church court turned into a horror scene of power and ritual. We separate myth vs. record, follow the verdict (stripping of vestments, annulled ordinations, the fingers of blessing, the Tiber), and track the reversals under later popes. If you crave dark church history that’s sourced and clear, you’re in the right place.
