There is a theory that someone (sort of like Yentl) who was a woman who
pretended to be a man, and rose through the ranks to become Pope. It is
said that, because of the scandal (some people say she became pregnant
while pope) that there is now a "Pope's Chair" so that someone reach up
from below to test to see if the person is really a man. (The chair
supposedly has a hole in it so that the person can test for testicles).

I don't think the name is actually significant. Joan is similar to John.

(Yentl is a cute movie ... read more about it at

Barbra Streisand played a Rabbi's daughter who, after her father's
death, became a boy in order to study the Torah in more depth.)
