What's the pope's salary? Has a pope ever been impeached? Who was Pope Joan? Have there ever been married popes? Which pope was exhumed for a public trial?

- exorcism and the Vatican
- the process of making a saint
- the Vatican's involvement in the film industry

Appendices provide both a glossary of Vatican terminology and significant dates in Catholic Church history.
