The only Girl?
I never had a TV at my parents house I didn`t watch even TV - Series, I have never watched "How I met your Mother" and so on .. In my apartment I just have a TV Screen to play music on my DVD :) … Yes I am a pretty outsider and being bullying because of that :) but I survived. One of my passion is to visit theater. I like old fashion theater buildings to move into another time.
But what`s the story about?
Pope Joan - Pope Joan was, according to popular legend, a woman who reigned as pope for a few years during the Middle Ages. Her story first appeared in chronicles in the 13th century and subsequently spread throughout Europe. The story was widely believed for centuries, but most modern scholars regard it as fictional.

The statue that still stands in Rome is Joanna with a papal crown.
Most versions of her story describe her as a very talented and learned woman who disguised herself as a man, often the behest of a lover. In the most common accounts, due to her abilities, she rose through the church hierarchy and was eventually elected pope. Her sex was revealed when she gave birth during a procession, and she died shortly after, either through murder or natural causes. The accounts state that later church processions avoided this spot, and that the Vatican removed the female pope from its official lists and crafted a ritual to ensure that future popes were male. In the 16th century, Sieana Cathedral (this cathedral is located in Italy, next to the city Firenze) featured a bust of Joan among other pontiffs, this was removed after protests in 1600.
We will never get to know her true story.
