According
to Eamon Duffy, "the Renaissance papacy invokes images of a
Hollywood spectacular, all decadence and drag. Contemporaries viewed
Renaissance Rome as we now view Nixon's Washington, a city of
expense-account whores and political graft, where everything and
everyone had a price, where nothing and nobody could be trusted. The
popes themselves seemed to set the tone." For example, Leo X,
was said to have remarked: "Let us enjoy the papacy, since God
has given it to us." Several of these popes took mistresses,
fathered children, and engaged in intrigue or even murder. Alexander
VI had four acknowledged children: Cesare Borgia, Lucrezia Borgia,
Gioffre Borgia, and Giovanni Borgia.
By
this degradation papacy permanently lost key to god that was
entrusted to St. Paul by Lord Jesus. It is now reduced to a human
political power pretending to be having any godly authority. By now
papacy is no more a Christian faith but an institute promoting Popism
or papalcy in the name of Jesus. Today what we have is actually a
Popist faith in Churches and not Christianity as they claim.
As
Europeans spread all over the world, this Inquisition continued all
over the world wherever they went and conquered people the world over
and burnt them who refused to convert to Pope's Christianity. In
India, we have ample examples of that; confession was an essential
part of Inquisition. In Goa Jesuit Xavier burnt thousands of Hindus
because they refused to convert and that is done in front of people
so that they get frightened and submit to Church. When this Jesuit
went to China to spread Popism rather than Christianity, he burnt to
ashes many Chinese who refused to convert. Interesting part of this
is that later on this cruel Jesuit, (member of Society of Jesus
formed in 1540) was conferred honor of Saint. Today this man is known
as St. Xavier! Pope's office had reached its lowest level by
confession and inquisition. Confession and Inquisition were against
the teachings of Jesus. We can see the business of Church forged
ahead at speeds unbelievable but the Jesus was lost. Jesus had a
small place somewhere in Church his small image hanging on the cross
on walls of Churches. All false promises were given in his name at
every sermon by priests. Fooling faithful in the name of Lord Jesus
became an every day ritual.
Pope
authorized Portugal and Spain to carry the message of Pope (and not
of Jesus) to that new world and both confession and inquisition
continued there. Many innocent people were burnt to ashes by monks
from Dominicans
and Franciscans groups. Pope's Christianity spread all over the world
using Jesus as only a tool to justify all that they did in his name;
as the Pope claimed that the keys to heaven are with him! Actually if
any key, that was lost when Henry had replaced Popes and imposed his
Popes in 1080. Falsity continued. There was nobody to challenge
Pope's authority. Papal march in political power was growing ever
more. The case of Sicily is important to note in this context.
