| | Rodrigo Borgia - definition of Rodrigo Borgia in Encyclopedia |
 | | Borgia's elevation did not at the time excite much alarm, except in some of the cardinals who knew him, and at first his reign was marked by a strict administration of justice and an orderly method of government in satisfactory contrast with the anarchy of the previous pontificate, as well as by great outward splendour. | | | But it was not long before his unbridled passion for endowing his relatives at the expense of the church and of his neighbours became manifest. | | | The secularization of the church was carried to a pitch never before dreamed of, and it was clear to all Italy that he regarded the papacy as an instrument of worldly schemes with no thought of its religious aspect. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Francis Borgia |
| | It was also he who, in 1568, desired the pope to appoint a commission of cardinals charged with promoting the conversion of infidels and heretics, which was the germ of the Congregation for the Propogation of the Faith, established later by Gregory XV in 1622. | | | Spared from the decree of Joseph Bonaparte who, in 1809, ordered the confiscation of all shrines and precious objects, the silver shrine containing the remains of the saint, after various vicissitudes, was removed, in 1901, to the church of the Society at Madrid, where it is honoured at the present time. | | | By his penitent and apostolic life he repaired the sins of his family and rendered glorious a name, which but for him, would have remained a source of humiliation for the Church. |

| | After the proclamation of the Republic, he was arrested (1798), but quickly released, whereupon he immediately resumed his studies and work of collecting; soon afterwards he joined Pius VI at Vallencia, and endeavoured to have this pontiff send to Asia and Africa a body of missionaries who would preach the Gospel and gather various monuments. | | | Note: The cardinal was, in fact, distantly related to the Spanish Borjas, who had emigrated to Italy from Jativa, Spain, in the twelfth or thirteenth century.] His early education was controlled by his uncle Allessandro (1682-1764), Archbishop of Fermo. | | | He founded a museum in Velletri, in which, during his whole life, he gathered coins and manuscripts, especially Coptic, and which may be considered as his greatest undertaking and achievement. |

| | Lucrezia Borgia, by Sarah Bradford |
| | After the marriage was dissolved she went on to be impregnated by her father's emissary while she was staying in a nunnery, but was nonetheless later declared a virgin by the Vatican. | | | Lucrezia also depended on male support when her family was absent; but her intimacy with the Venetian man of letters Pietro Bembo and with the Marquis of Mantua has been interpreted as a sexual relationship. | | | Alexander VI, as Roderigo became, was a man who attracted women "more powerfully than the magnet influences iron" and already had six children when he took over the papacy. |
