Frumentius (Pope Joan)

Frumentius

Frumentius, according to the Greek erudite Emmanuel Rhoides who wrote the most factual biography of the first real (to all unbiased scientific and historical evidence), Catholic, female Pope in history, the Papess Joanne, was a scribe to the German monastery of Fuldha. There, he met with Joanne who was also a scribe there too, having turned to the monastery after the death of her father. He became her paramour and they eloped to Athens with Joanne dressed up as a male monk. In Athens, they lived together both pretending to be monks, with Joanne becoming progressively more versed in religious matters until one morning, after a long sojourn of ten years, suddenly, Joanne abandons Frumentius in a cave outside the port of Piraeus and embarks on a ship to take her to Rome where she eventually becomes Pope. Frumentius, at first, wants to die, and for many days he weeps and mourns refusing to eat or drink, until finally, as we learn from Emmanuel Rhoides, he is rescued by the occurence of a holy miracle. After that, he finds solace in another woman and abandons the cassock.
