Introduction
Theological corruption is a phenomenon where religious figures betray the spiritual principles they are meant to uphold, often driven by personal ambition, thirst for power, or external influences.
This theme echoes across history and literature — from the corrupted priests and priestesses of Ancient Greece to the modern portrayal of political intrigue within the Church, as seen in the film Conclave.
