Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]Warning, the Vatican spent 500 years trying to erase a murder they committed in public.

[00:00:05]In 1431, they burned a 19-year-old girl alive and called [music] her a witch.

[00:00:10]But exactly 106 years ago today, everything changed inside [music] St. Peter's Basilica.

[00:00:16]They didn't just apologize, they executed the ultimate narrative flip.

[00:00:20]Joan of Arc was officially transformed from a condemned heretic into a sacred saint. They took the very fire that killed her and turned it into a light for the entire world.

[00:00:30]It wasn't just a ceremony, it [music] was the most successful rebranding in human history. The rebel who scared the church became the icon they now pray to.

[00:00:38]This is how you rewrite history under a dome of gold.

[00:00:41]The fire ended her life, but the saint became [music] eternal.
