The Holy See of the Vatican is the bastion of the Catholic faith, with dark and atrocious secrets throughout history, it has always been talked about, but still there are millions of believers and faithful who follow it despite its horrors in the past, for example the Holy Inquisition and the pedophilia scandals are some of them but today I will tell you about the case of the castrati, a dark secret that few know.
A castrato is a term in Italian to refer to a singer who had his testicles removed as a child, in the plural it would be castrati, it is a procedure that was used so that the voice remains sharp even in the adult state, but it has to do This horrific 16th century practice with the Vatican is a question that many will ask.
During the aforementioned period, a Vatican delegation visited towns and cities in search of male children who had a good voice, they offered their parents large amounts of money to take their children and prepare them as a Castrato singer where they would delight nobles, kings and of course the pope, performing religious songs.
This process of becoming a castrate singer was a painful transformation, the boy underwent an intervention where his testicles were extracted, then he was trained in the art of music and singing just to entertain the nobility and the Catholic clergyman of the epoch.
Perhaps this is one of the secrets of the Vatican that few know, it was so atrocious and aberrant for the time that despite the amount of money offered by the Vatican delegates few families accepted, it was not pleasant to see and submit their son to this horrible practice, where they condemned their manhood forever for the enjoyment of a few.
