Script
Under torchlight in the Basilica of St. John Lateran, January 897, Pope Stephen VI ordered the corpse of Pope Formosus, dressed in full papal robes, propped onto a throne for trial. Cardinals and bishops stared, frozen, as Stephen hurled accusations at the stiffened body, demanding answers none could give. Outside, a crowd pressed in, whispering that the dead pontiff’s fingers twitched when his crown was stripped. The Cadaver Synod ended when Formosus was found guilty, his body mutilated and tossed in the Tiber, sparking months of chaos no Roman would forget.
