There will be many side tracks and detours along the way. We will investigate the backstreets of the Papacy where the tour normally doesn't go. Support this show

History lectures by Samuel Biagetti, a historian (and antique dealer) with a Phd in early American history; my dissertation was on Freemasonry in the 1700s. I focus on the historical myths and distortions, from "the Middle Ages" to "Race," that people use to rationalize the world in which we live.

I promised you a History of the Germans but I am afraid there is no such thing. All I can give you is the histories of the German people. The previous 94 episodes you have heard one of the histories of the Germans, the one about the mighty emperors and their political, military and spiritual struggle with the papacy. It is a great story, and it was fun to tell it. But today we kick off another of the histories, the history of the North of Germany, the part that looked east, rather than south ...

The 10th and 11th centuries saw a sting of many short papacies, as secular rulers added and removed pontiffs to impose their will on the papacy. Among these popes were some of the most wretched men to sit in the chair of St Peter, which earned the era the title the Saeculum Obscurum, or "dark age" of the papacy.…
