Why were there three popes at the same time? - Joëlle Rollo-Koster

For almost two millennia, the Pope has been a figure of supreme spiritual authority for Catholics around the world. But in the late 14th century, Catholics found themselves with not one, not two, but three popes. Where did this plethora of popes come from? And who among them was the genuine article? Joëlle Rollo-Koster shares the origins of this papal predicament. Lesson by Joëlle Rollo-Koster, directed by Kaspar Jancis.
