Teenage Popes Make Bad Popes

from Losers, Pretenders & Scoundrels · host Andrew Heaton, Andrew Young

What makes a good Pope? Certainly not the wisdom of youth. John XII and Benedict IX both found themselves wearing the white hat well before their maturity and managed to make the High See the height of sin and debauchery. Unlicensed historians Andrew Heaton and Andrew Young investigate these two holy(?) whippersnappers to see what made them tick.
