The “Cat Pope” Disaster
"In the Middle Ages, cats were feared as companions of witches and were seen as symbols of the devil. In 1233, Pope Gregory IX fueled this belief by declaring that black cats were satanic in an official decree. This led to widespread cat killings across Europe. But here's the twist: fewer cats meant more rats, and rats were the main carriers of the plague. So, this bizarre decision to get rid of cats likely helped the Black Death spread even faster, wiping out millions. A decision with deadly consequences."
