Wasn' t one of the great accusations thrown at the Borgia Pope was that he had so many mistresses and so many children? Was that usual for a religious leader like the Pope at this time? Well, I suppose he wasn' t the first to do it and nor was he the last, but he was just slightly more so. So, he was slightly more. He had rather more beautiful mistresses and, you know, an awfully large bevy of children. How seriously did these Renaissance popes take their Christianity? Well, I personally think they took it very seriously. I mean, just because they' re extravagant, it' s not that they' re not religious. It' s not either or. It' s a different way of doing things. For the Renaissance popes, outrageous parties and ostentatious displays of wealth were a tribute to the glory of God and Church, and a demonstration to the world of their power and sanctity. |
