About this listen
In 1630s France, a convent erupts in convulsions, visions, and blasphemous ecstasies, accusations that lead to one of history’s most infamous possession trials. This is the story of hysteria and desire colliding with politics and power, where faith becomes performance and a priest becomes a sacrifice. Join us in the journey of how Mother Superior Jeanne des Anges, Cardinal Richelieu, and a town on edge turned a scandal into a saint-making machine.
