The Vatican is a six-part documentary series about the world’s biggest influencer. Six questions that have never been asked before lead us into the back rooms of the Vatican. Only six answers will get us out of there.

synopsis

In the six-part series The Vatican, Professor Rik Torfs heads to Rome to assess, in an accessible way, the damage done to an institution that has had to face and handle an endless series of scandals, as well as coping with emptying churches. Armed with six vitally important questions that are linked to the core problems with which the institution struggles and illustrating these themes with footage from the world’s finest image archives, he investigates the thesis that the end might be near for the Vatican, and the role which the Pope could play in this potential scenario.
In de zesdelige reeks Het Vaticaan trekt professor Rik Torfs naar Rome om op een toegankelijke manier de schade op te meten aan een instituut dat een onophoudelijke reeks schandalen te verwerken krijgt en z’n kerken ziet leeglopen. Aan de hand van zes essentiële vragen, gerelateerd aan kernproblemen waarmee het instituut worstelt en ter illustratie puttend uit rijke beeldarchieven, onderzoekt hij de these dat het einde van het Vaticaan nakend zou zijn, en welke rol de paus in dit potentiële scenario zou vervullen.
