HowaDangerousMythArose

TheFictitiousStoryofPopeJoan.

Notcontentwithusingasweapons againstthePapacythelivesofcertain Popeswhowereindeedunworthy,the enemiesoftheChurch(writes"M C.P.,"inthe"CatholicTimes"),have fromtimetotimeusedpureinventions tostrengthentheircase.Onesuch caseisthatofPopeJoan.Hereisthe legendinitsordinaryformwithoutthe detailswhichareaddedtomakeit moreunsavoury.

JoanissaidtohavecomefromEngland,orperhapsMayence,andtohave studiedatAthens.Shetaughtwith suchsuccessinRomethat,onthe deathofLeoIV.,in855,shewaselected Pope,andsucceededinconcealingher sexandherdisorderlylifefortwo years,whenthediscoverywasmade andBenedictIII.wasvalidlyelected.

Itshouldbenotedthatthesources ofthis,tous,unbelievablestory,were inthefirstinstanceCatholic,andnot untilitwasusedbyenemiesagainst theChurchwereitscredentialsexaminedthoughitsearliestdateis400 yearsaftertheevent.Severalcircumstancescanbeconsideredresponsiblefortheinvention,notablythe well-knownharmfulinfluenceofcertainambitiousandpowerfulwomen inRomeduringthetenthcentury. Theodora,wifeofAdalbertofTuscany, andherdaughtesrTheodoraandWaroyia,certainlybroughtgreatdiscredit onthePapacybecauseoftheirintriguesandunscrupulousinterference inthetemporalaffairsofPopesJohn XI.andXII.,whoweresaidtoallow womentoruleinRome.

Butalreadytherearetwoweaknessesinthechange.Thiswasinthe tenthcentury,andthelegendrefersto theninth,and,secondly,itdidnotappearatalluntilthetwelfthcentury. Thirdly,thevariousversionscontradict eachother,andmostimportantofall, thereisnohistoricfoundationforany intervalbetweenthetwoPopesbetweenwhomPopeJoanissaidtohave ruled.Incontrovertibleevidencemay bebroughttoshowthatLeoIV.died onJuly17,855,andBenedictIII. waselectedbeforetheendofthesame month.Thisisalsoattestedbysuch enemiesoftheChurchasVoltaire,the freethinker.andLeibnitz,theLutheran,whoagreedwiththedenialsmade byCatholicapologistssuchasBellerium,whorecognisedthemischiefthat couldbedonebysuchalegendinthe mindsofProtestants,thoughithad existedwithverylittleattentionpaid toitduringtheagesofFaith.

Aroundthechancelrantheambulatory andthiswithitsradiatingchapelsrepresentedtheCrownofThornswhich surroundedtheSacredHeadofthe Redeemer.Theportalsofthechurch atthewestend,oppositethealtar,signifiedtheendoflife.Iftherewere twodoorsinthesameopening,they preachedthetwoNaturesinChrist,if three,theBlessedTrinitywasproclaimed;butwhateverthenumber, theywerealwaysgrouped:beneathone archtosymbolisetheunityachieved bythegrouping.Verygenerallyin thetympanumofthedoors,werecarvedmostappropriatelyfiguresofthe LastJudgmentandthedooritselfwas Christ.
