Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Roman Catholic dogma expresses the belief of Papal infallibility through which the Pope is sheltered from even the possibility of error in his teachings on faith or morals. This book explores the dark secrets and political maneuvers of those Popes who, while professing papal infallibility, stole, murdered, cheated, and brought disgrace to the role of the papacy, including John XII, Benedict IX, Leo X, Julius III, and others.
