Is "rubbished" a word? RickK 05:08, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Doesn't sound very encyclopedic does it? Changed to "discredited". Hypernovean 05:11, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I left in Kadett's other changes but deleted the story about popes relieving themselves during ceremonies. I have no knowledge of this subject, but that story is just too weird for me to believe unless a reference can be cited. JamesMLane 11:05, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Popess Joan
Shouldn't this be "Popess Joan"? I know the term is used...never, but still. That's what the Catholic Enclyothinger said. --Tothebarricades.tk 06:26, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Actually the femine form of 'Pope' is Papess.
Contradiction?
Doesn't the last paragraph of overview and the first of analyis contradict eachother (both dealing with the testicle stuff)? 143.50.217.29 23:54, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
And, by the way, as far as I know, a newly elected pope is not consecrated as the last paragraph of overview suggests. 143.50.217.29 23:58, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Platina
I moved this here:"It is also tempting to speculate that he was the "paramour" reported by Platina to have accompanied her to Athens." There is no previous mention of Platina, nothing on the "report" no reason given to speculate. This is a tender topic; it needs to be treated with care. --Wetman 20:01, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Cleanup
This article badly needs cleanup because:
- It contains contradictions.
- Some places need rephrasing.
- Links to relevant historical persons should be added.
- Can the word "assassination" be used in this case?
What I've done:
- Deleted 2 POV passages: one about "serving God while being female", the other about "a lowly woman" and Pope Benedict XVI.
- Deleted the reference to an earlier version of the article – the article namespace is not a place for discussions. If anyone can quote sources of the statement that the Papess was "sexually promiscuous", please do so.
- Added some links.

Benedict III
There is a problem with Benedict III. Accordig the article he was elected in September 858. According the list of popes on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popes#From_750) he was elected at 855 and he was dead at 7 april 858
