The Messed Up Era When the Vatican Was Ruled From the Shadows

Описание: 📜 PORNOCRACY: The Era When Two Women Ruled the Church

For nearly fifty years, the papacy was not controlled by popes, emperors, or kings.It was ruled from the shadows — by two women history tried to forget.
This was the era known as Pornocracy: a time when ritual survived scandal, belief endured corruption, and the Church discovered just how much it could withstand without breaking. Popes rose and fell, violence became procedural, and the faithful kept coming — even as power quietly changed hands.

This is not a story about decadence.It’s a story about systems.And how belief can be used.

🕯️ About Lore & Ruin
Lore & Ruin explores the dark origins behind familiar myths, institutions, and beliefs — the moments where history fractures, power shifts, and the stories we inherit are built on uncomfortable truths.

These are not legends.They are the parts of history we were taught to forget.
