If you want to read about something surreal, read up on the Cadaver Synod. It's a truly mindfucking moment in the history of the Church. I'm not going to give anything away, but I will say it forced a subsequent Pope to issue a Papal Bull forbidding conducting trials on corpses.

On the other hand, the Church also held a posthumous trial for Joan of Arc and found her not guilty.
