This week, we continue our five-part series on the Black Death. In Part Three, we take a closer look at the Catholic Church's system of selling indulgences; we learn how one horny pope moved the papacy to Avignon; we examine the virulent antisemitism that engulfed so much of plague-stricken Europe; and we recount the tale of the curse of Grand Master de Molay.Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0 For Live Shows, Merch, and More Visit: www.LastPodcastOnTheLeft.comKevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of Last Podcast on the Left ad-free, plus get Friday episodes a whole week early.

On part two, we explore the ways in which war, superstition, and fear gripped Europe as the plague robbed the continent of human life. Then, we travel north through Italy to get a closer look at the disease as it moved like a piranha, spilling blood in the gutters of Messina, Florence, Venice, and beyond. What does God's divine retribution look like? How far can rats jump? And what is the most elegant way to ditch your sickly family member?
