It was said that Pope John XII (955-64) invented sins that had
not been known since the beginning of the world and whole
monasteries spent days and nights praying for his death. He
turned his home, the Lateran Palace, into a brothel. He used
the papal treasury to pay off his gambling debts. He died on
May 14th 964 aged twenty-four, after he was caught in bed
by the husband of one of his mistresses in 'the very act of
adultery'.
Pope Boniface VII (974; 984-85) was described as: "a horrid
monster" and "a man who in criminality surpasssed all the
rest of mankind".
In the year 440 Pope Sixtus III (432-40) was tried for the
seduction of a nun.
Pope John XIII (965-72) {yes, I know there was more than
one John XIII} was condemned as an adulterer who "defiled
his father's concubine and his own niece". He was said to
have died at the hands of an enraged husband, caught in the
act of adultery - just like his dad, Pope John XII.
Pope Sergius III (904-11) enjoyed sex with under aged girls.
According to the historian Baronius, Sergius III was "the
slave of every vice". When he was 45, Sergius took a 15-
year-old mistress - the affair produced a son who went on to
become Pope John XI.
And then there are other matters, like the mad monks led by
Saint Cyril, the patron saint of arsonists, who burned the
Great Library at Alexandria, destroying 600,000 volumes of
knowledge of the ancient world--the greatest property crime
of all time. Then there was that dust-up with Luther and the
wars that followed wherein Germany lost half its population
in a generation. And of course the slave trade-shall he admit
that his church was an instigator and a major player in that
institution? And the destruction, plunder, rape and papal
pillage of the peoples of the Americas and the eradication of
their culture. The "Donation of Constantine" was a forgery.
Hence Pope Adrian IV didn't own Ireland and had no right to
give it to England. Forging documents has been a Vatican
tradition for centuries, and even during John Paul's lifetime,
when favored Nazis had Holy See passports to escape
Europe and their crimes. Boys were castrated to make them
into church singers. Pedophile was the order of the day in
churches by the priests. Vatican's ideas on birth control are
destroying poor nations. As per Christianity women have no
right to control their own bodies
One of the most notorious popes was Alexander VI, from the
scheming Borgia dynasty, who was both intensely ambitious
and wealthy. During the 1492 conclave that elected him the
successor to Innocent VIII, money fell like rain and the
papacy had been bought. Alexander VI had six sons and
three daughters by several women and placed all his
offspring into high positions.
