Synopsis "Papas / Popes (in Spanish)"

Zavala destapa las historias ocultas más sorprendentes que se esconden tras los muros del Vaticano. Intentaron envenenar a Juan Pablo II? Es verdad que existió un Vaticano francés? Por qué Juan XII fue el peor pontífice? Qué papas muertos permanecen hoy incorruptos? Es cierto que existió la papisa Juana? Cuántos antipapas ha habido a lo largo de la historia? Y cismas? Qué indujo a Napoleón Bonaparte a declararle la guerra a Pío VII? Ha salvado el papa Francisco a una Iglesia herida de muerte? Parapetado tras un arsenal de testimonios y documentos desconocidos, José María Zavala saca a relucir en estas páginas episodios insólitos y fascinantes de los principales pontífices, que se extienden incluso al mismo reinado de Francisco. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Zavala uncovers the most astonishing secret stories hidden behind Vatican walls. Was John Paul II almost poisoned? Is it true that there was a French Vatican? Why was John XII the worst pontiff? Which deceased popes remain clear of corruption and with a clear name to this day? Did Pope Joan really exist or is it just a myth? How many antipopes have there been throughout history? And how many separations of church? What prompted Napoleon Bonaparte to declare war on Pius VII? Has Pope Francis saved a wounded Church? Armed with an arsenal of never-before-seen testimonies and documents, José María Zavala sheds a light on the unusual, extraordinary, and fascinating episodes surrounding the most renowned popes, which extend even to Pope Francis' reign today.
