El cónclave acaba de elegir a Lenny Belardo nuevo Papa de la Santa Iglesia Romana. Un Papa bastante atípico: no sólo por su edad o porque es el primer italoamericano en alzarse con el trono de Pedro, sino también por sus ideas reaccionarias, muy próximas al oscurantismo, que Lenny impone a la fuerza desde las primeras semanas de su papado. Estas ideas podrían cambiar drásticamente la imagen de una de las instituciones más antiguas que existen. Pero Lenny es también un hombre frágil, atormentado por su pasado y por una relación con la fe extremadamente problemática.

Popetown is a controversial animated sitcom, billed by its producers as "Father Ted meets South Park", following the doodles and scribblings of a student at school during a lesson. His drawings depict the life of Father Nicholas, who lives in a Vatican City parody referred to as "Popetown". He is charged with being the handler for the Pope who is a complete nincompoop with the emotional and mental maturity of a four-year-old. Father Nicholas must keep the Pope out of trouble, and make sure the general public does not find out that the Holy Father is a drooling idiot. Other characters include a priest who is a sexual deviant, and a trio of corrupt cardinals who secretly run Popetown and attempt to get rich behind the Pope's back. These and other elements caused the show to be extremely controversial.

Charlemagne, le prince à cheval is a 1993 television miniseries about the life of Charlemagne. It consists of five episodes and covers the period from the death of his father, Pepin the Short in AD 768 until Charlemagne's corronation as the first Holy Roman Emperor on Christmas Day, AD 800. However, there is a minor chronological anachronism: in an earlier episode, we see Widukind, the king of the Saxons surrender and convert to Christianity, which didn't happen until AD 803.
