The papacy has long denied the existence of a female pope, yet there is ample evidence that she was, indeed, real.

Forbidden is the intriguing story of Pope John (855-858) the only woman to have served as Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Born a poor girl in Mainz, Germany, Agnes Johanna was a truly gifted learner who was allowed to study in the local monastery. When she reached the age of 12, she was promised to an oaf of a boy whom she did not wish to marry. The only way for her to continue her education was to leave with a religious novice who recognized her potential and befriended her. Disguised as a fellow novice named Gilbert, the pair set out on a journey that opened paths for her education along the way, ultimately leading her higher and higher in religious circles.
