Greetings-- >Can anyone tell me where I can find legitimate information on the imfamous >"groping chair" or sedes Stercoraria, in Latin. The only info I can find is >from very anti-catholic web pages, and my book "Sex Lives of the Popes," >which I have found to have erroneous information in it. I believe there was a 14th century chronicler (Adam of Bremen?) who described the chair and the procedure (as well as recounting the Pope Joan story), although from what I remember, scholars aren't sure that he actually ever saw the chair and quite definite that he never saw the supposed ceremony.
