The Pontifical Woman is a historical/dramatic film directed by S? Wortmann and starring Johanna Wokalek and david wenham. The Pontifical woman told us that English pastor Angelis had two sons and a daughter, and he was bent on sending his son to a missionary school to become a senior bishop. However, people in the Middle Ages believed that women's literacy was against nature, because once they had knowledge, the uterus would shrink and affect fertility.
