	Cadaver Synod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pope Formosus was initially forced to crown Lambert, one of the sons of the Duke of Spoleto, as co-ruler of the Holy Roman Empire.
		Stephen had similarly become bishop of Rome while serving as the head of a different diocese, since he was still bishop of Anagni.
		Pope Sergius III, another Spoletan partisan who reigned from 904 to 911, overturned the rulings of Theodore II and John IX, reaffirming Formosus's conviction, and had a laudatory epitaph inscribed on the tomb of Stephen VII.

	Pope Sergius III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Pope Sergius III, scion of Benedictus, of a noble Roman family, reigned in two intervals between 897 and April 14, 911, during a period of feudal violence and disorder in central Italy, where the Papacy was a pawn of warring aristocratic factions.
		He was his faction's unsuccessful candidate for the papacy in 896; when John IX was elected instead, he excommunicated Sergius, who had to withdraw from his see at Cerveteri for safety.
		Elected Pope in 897, Sergius was forcibly exiled by Lambert, duke of Spoleto, and all the official records were destroyed; consequently most of the surviving documentation about Sergius comes from his opponents.

	Rejection of Pascal's Wager: Popes Throughout History
		Stephen III(II) (in office: 752-757) is renowned for the being the pope responsible for the formation of the papal states.
		The next two popes were merely stop-gap instruments of Marozia- to warm the papal throne until her son could ascend to it.
		Pope Alexander III (in office 1159-1181) had the dubious distinction of being one of the first popes to order the use of force against heresies.

	The Female Pope Chapter 3
		The alternative title of 'John VII', which a few authors preferred for the female pope, was probably the result of a miscalculation, as they all - with one exception - persist in placing her pontificate in the ninth century, even though the real John VII ruled far earlier than that: from 705 to 707.
		The great problem in the case of the female pope is that the papal lists for the times when she is said to have ruled contain no suspicious or unexplained gaps, into which she might be fitted.
		It could have been an image of Pope Joan exactly as claimed, and in that case it must have been erected on the traditional site of her death some time around the middle of the fourteenth century, when her story was beginning to be widely accepted as true.

	INFALLIBLE HERETICS?
		Having been condemned by Pope Stephen VII, the former Pope Formosa's corpse was stripped, the three fingers of benediction on the right hand were hacked off, and the remains thrown to the mob outside, who dragged it through the streets and threw it into the Tiber.
		Pope Sergius III agreed with Stephen VII in pronouncing all ordinations by heretical popes invalid--which, of course, is only logical in view of the automatic excommunication which we have already noted accompanies heresy.
		Pope Honorius (625-38) was condemned as a heretic by the Sixth Ecumenical council 678-87).

		Stephen was a Roman, and the son of John, a priest.
		Whether induced by evil passion or perhaps, more probably, compelled by the Emperor Lambert and his mother Ageltruda, he caused the body of Formosus to be exhumed, and in January, 897, to be placed before an unwilling synod of the Roman clergy.
		Before he was put to death by strangulation, he forced several of those who had been ordained by Formosus to resign their offices and he granted a few privileges to churches.

		Two councils, that of Constance (1415), which deposed the first Pope John XXIII after he had held the office for five years and had appointed several cardinals and bishops who continued to hold their offices, and that of Basle (1432), declared that 'even the pope is bound to obey the councils'.
		That the popes have not always been considered infallible is made clear by a review of events in the late 14th and early 15th centuries.
		This council deposed all three popes and elected a new one, Martin V (1417-1431)...The Council of Constance also declared that a council is superior to a pope, and thus it acted to depose all three popes at once.
