Break.com Friday: Remember the Last Bunch of Guys that Made Britain Quit Europe?

So first, congratulations to the people of the United Kingdom, for recovering their freedom and sovereignty!



And now, some exciting news (after a few days' delay): I've just published my first article on Break.com

Look for me to do future articles on weird history of different kinds.  There'll be stuff on secret societies, occult grimoires, other esoteric stuff, and lots of funny or weird history.

But for today, slightly coincidentally to current events, we look back at the history of some other European Bureaucrats who behaved so god-awfully that they made Britain (and several other countries) quit their international organization.  The "god-awfully" was particularly ironic, because of course we're talking about the Popes of the Roman Catholic Church.

Here, then, is my list of 20 of the Worst Popes In History, and you won't believe some of the shit they pulled.  There's pope eye-gouger, pope Joffrey, pope gigolo, pope traitor!, pope vampire, and lots more!

Dedicated with love to the European Commission and John "Captain Smegma" Wright.

  2. Awesome. Great news. I remember a bunch that quit Great Britain and went on to greatness as well. Good stuff, this independence and sovereignty. The Remain crowd never explained why Norway and Switzerland are doing just fine without the EU.

  3. I know it's good clickbait and I don't begrudge another man his living, but I do get a little weary of the "all times in the past were awful and racist and shit, not like now!" tone that seems to pervade most online listicles touching on history.

    1. Well most times and cultures in the past, and most cultures today, were/are more racist and more awful than post-Enlightenment Western Civilization. That's just fact. Of course, I'm a known anti-papist, but everything I posted there is stuff that either confirmably actually happened or that there's evidence happened. I wasn't just inventing shit.

  4. Break.com is bad for mobile I see.
