, Gertrude Moakley connected the Popess of the Pierpont Morgan to a distant ancestor of Filippo Maria Visconti, a nun named Maifreda Visconti Pirovano, who was appointed Popess of a heretical sect in Lombardy known as the "Guglielmites". The best source of documentation at our disposal where it is possible to learn about the Guglielmites is in the proceedings of the trial initiated against them by the Inquisition in 1300. In essence, this group argued that God had once again sent another child on the earth, but on this occasion it was a woman. She herself was named Guglielma of Bohemia, affirming that her birth was announced to her alleged mother, Queen Constance of Bohemia, by the archangel Raphael, who had explained that her mission on earth was to save the Jews, the Saracens and the false Christians, in the same way that Christ had saved the true Christians.
