The Bad Popes

Description: John XII, the dissolute, satyr-like Roman prince; Benedict IX, who subjected the Papacy to its greatest indignity; Boniface VIII, ruthless in his insatiable hunger for absolute power; Urban VI, the wild man from Naples whose grotesque savageries widened the Great Schism; Alexander VI, who brought Borgia intrigues and debauchery to the See of Peter; Leo X, ruler of Rome at the height of its glory and corruption; Clement VII, the unskillful fox who brought ruin to his Church. “Seven different popes, each of whom precipitated a crisis in the Church . . . they stole, plundered, gambled, fornicated, killed. . . . E. R. Chamberlin’s in-depth approach adds much to the honesty of Church history and carries out Leo XIII’s injunction at the opening of the Vatican archives to ‘tell the truth’.This book is part of a large collection from the estate of an avid collector. This book has been carefully stored.
