| | Pope Alexander VI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Alexander now feared that the king might depose him for simony and summon a council, but he won over the bishop of Saint Malo, who had much influence over the king, with a cardinal's hat. | | | For many of his misdeeds his terrible son Cesare was responsible, but of others the pope cannot be acquitted. | | | His one thought was family aggrandizement, and while it is unlikely that he meditated making the papacy hereditary in the house of Borgia, he certainly gave away its temporal estates to his children as though they belonged to him. |

| | Pope Alexander VI |
| | The barons of the Pope deserted him one after the other. | | | It had taught him that if he would be safe in Rome and be really master in the States of the Church, he must curb the insolent and disloyal barons who had betrayed him in his hour of danger. | | | The Colonna, the Savelli, the Gaetani and other barons of the Patrimony had always been supported in their opposition to the popes by the favour of the Aragonese dynasty, deprived of which they felt themselves powerless. |

| | Moments in History #10 Pope Alexander VI 1492-1503 |
| | Alexander displayed a similar blindness to his office and his faith when he attempted to secure an alliance with the Muslim Sultan of the Ottoman Empire against the Catholic French King, Charles VIII who Alexander feared was about to invade Italy and depose him! | | | When he needed money for the Church, which was all the time, Alexander sold Church offices to the highest bidders, failed to fill vacancies caused by deaths of Bishops and Cardinals so that the Papacy could collect the wealth that flowed from such Bishoprics. | | | This hasn’t been proven, but Alexander’s many sexual relationships lent enough truth to the rumors that it was near impossible to believe otherwise. |

| | Alexander VI |
| | After his elevation to the Papacy in 1492, through heavy bribery and politicking, he put aside Vanozza for the beautiful fifteen-year-old Giulia Farnese — Alexander was then 61 — by whom he almost certainly had two children while Pope, making six children in all. | | | That he lived lavishly, showered gifts and offices on his relatives, kept mistresses and fathered children while occupying the chair of Peter, and was indifferent to his church duties — all documented in detail by contemporary witness and attested even by the churchman Ludwig Pastor and the Catholic Encyclopedia — is beyond dispute. | | | Nevertheless, his passion for sexual liaisons continued with Vanozza Catanei, who bore him four children, including the fascinating Lucrezia Borgia (born 1480). |

| | His fiercest and most influential critic was the powerful Florentine monk Savonarola who denounced Rome as Babylon, the Church as a prostitute and Alexander as the Antichrist, before the thick-skinned Pope finally had enough and excommunicated him. | | | His uncle, Pope Callistus III, made him a cardinal, where his unprincipled ruthlessness served him well. | | | Alexander remained a popular figure among the Romans and the Catholic pilgrims who flocked to the city for the Jubilee Year of 1500, when he blessed a crowd of 200,000 in St. Peter's Square. |
