did you read the wiki article I posted? I realize wiki might not be the greatest source but it would be a start...

apperently committed his first murder at 12

bought his way into the Papacy (wiki says he actually paid off the cardinals, with money from the indulgences, to gain his power)

had his daughter married in one of the Vaticans most eleborate weddings... thats right his daughter

Alexander VI was a far, far, far better Pope than anything we've gotten recently. If he were alive today, I'd have only three words: Viva il Papa!

It's a good thing you aren't a sedevacantist...then you'd be a heretic by Vatican I.

By the way, doesn't SSPX itself look down upon fornication, immodest dress, et cetera? I know FSSP does.

Funny how when it's the Pope you don't care so much. I think consistency would be good today.

The Pope does not have to be a priest. Any confirmed Catholic male may become pope, if I remember my laws. Thus a pope could have a daughter through no indiscretions, and considering Peter's denial of Jesus, I don't think indiscretions remove one's ability to pope (v.)

Somebody asked a question (which popes have we had that were "rotten"), and I gave an answer. Of course, if I had named some pre-Vatican II pope nobody would have edited anything, or even cared. This just shows the liberalist agenda of Phatmass.

Pope Paul VI? Even after everything he said about some of the not so nice effects of Vatican II? Like this:

We believed that after the Council would come a day of sunshine in the history of the Church. But instead there has come a day of clouds and storms, and of darkness ... And how did this come about? We will confide to you the thought that may be, we ourselves admit in free discussion, that may be unfounded, and that is that there has been a power, an adversary power. Let us call him by his name: the devil.

And this:

It is as if from some mysterious crack, no, it is not mysterious, from some crack the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God.

Hmmmmm.....usually sedes love this Pope for these quotes and use it as ammunition for their crazy ideas.....Yah, I just thought that was wierd. God Bless! Dont forget to pray for our current Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI, luckily he's da bomb.

Alexander VI smoked crack? what?
what fiction is being sent about these threads?
lol













Just remember "don't pray for the damned"

[Lounge Daddy]

I very much like the quote:

...Pope Pius III (1503), forbade the saying of a Mass for the repose of Alexander VI's soul, saying, "It is blasphemous to pray for the damned."



lol

[zunshynn]

I'm not sure why that's funny

[MichaelFilo]

It's threads like these that can lead men to listen to black metal to kill time as opposed to posting on here.

The majority of the comments have been attacks on "rotten popes" luckily, it shaped up near the end.

How can a pope be morally evil? I thought popes were chosen by God.

He is chosen by the Cardinals, but the Holy Spirit guarantees a pope would be elected that could destroy the Church.
