[Opinions] Re: Joan
in reply to a message by vigdis
Pope Joan didn't exist. I was thinking more along the lines of Joan of Arc, which is a good namesake. However, there's the less fortunate namesake of actress Joan Crawford.

I think it is uncertain whether she existed or not. Historians still argue about it. However, if you're Catholic you kinda have to believe she didn't exist because today's popes deny her existance completely if I'm not mistaken.
Joan of Arc is a great namesake! She is mine actually. In German she is called "Johanna von Orléans", so I was named Johanna :)

There is an argument about Pope Joan
And whether or not she existed. Even if she didn't her story is well worth the namesake.
As for Joan Crawford: Fantastic actress and who knows how much of Mommy Dearest was actually true? I could tell you my mom beat me with a stick everyday until I was 16, publish it in a book and have them make a movie out of it. And it would still be a lie.
