In the six-part documentary series The Vatican, Professor Rik Torfs goes to Rome to measure the damage in an approachable manner at an institute that has to deal with an incessant series of scandals and whose churches slowly empty. Using six essential questions, related to core issues the Institute is struggling with, and drawing from rich image archives to illustrate, he examines the thesis that the Vatican's end would be imminent, and what role the Pope would play in this potential scenario.
