1.POPE LEO X- reigned 1513-1521: When he became Pope, Leo X is reported to have said to his brother Giuliano: “Since God has given us the papacy, let us enjoy it. His extravagance offended not only people like Martin Luther, but also some cardinals, who, led by Alfonso Petrucci of Siena, plotted an assassination attempt. Eventually, Pope Leo found out who these people were, and had them followed. The conspirators died of “food poisoning.”

2. POPE BENEDICT IX- reigned 1032-1048 Benedict IX was Pope from 1032 to 1044, again in 1045, and finally from 1047 to 1048, the only man to have served as Pope for three discontinuous periods. He was also one of the youngest Popes (reigning from around age 18-20). He reportedly led an extremely dissolute life, and also allegedly had few qualifications for the papacy other than connections with a socially powerful family, Peter Damian described him as “feasting on immorality” and “a demon from hell in the disguise of a priest” in the Liber Gomorrhianus, a treatise on papal corruption and sex that accused Benedict IX of routine homosexuality and bestiality

3.POPE ALEXANDER VI- reigned 1492-1503 Born Rodrigo Borgia, Pope Alexander VI is so famous for his passion for endowing his relatives at the church’s and his neighbours’ expense became manifest. To that end he was ready to commit any crime and to plunge all Italy into war.Alexander VI had three sons in addition to his famous daughter Lucrezia.During his pontificate virtually everything he did was to further the position of his children and family in the world. In order to dominate the Sacred College of Cardinals more completely, Alexander, in a move that created much scandal, created twelve new cardinals, among them his own son Cesare, then only eighteen years old

4.POPE JOHN XII- reigned 955-964: John was the temporal and spiritual ruler of Rome and during his pontificate he virtually turned it into a whorehouse. Moral corruption in Rome became a major problem. After crowning Otto I Emporer of Germany in order to secure his support in a war against Berengar II of Itlay, he changed his mind and began communicating with Berengar. Otto learnt of John’s treachery and returned to Rome after defeating Berengar. He called a council which deposed John who was hiding in the mountains, and elected Leo VIII in his place. John, with a large group of supporters, returned to Rome to depose Leo VIII before Otto had even left. Otto pledged to assist Leo against John but before the matter went any further, John died. It is rumoured that he was killed by the husband of one of his mistresses.

5, POPE Honorius I- reigned 625-638 : Honorius I was condemned and excommunicated for heresy by the sixth general council in 680. The heresy in question was Montheism in which Jesus is seen as a divine-human, rather than the orthodox belief of physeis that he is both fully God and fully man.Patriarch Sergius of Constantinople wrote to Honorius asking him to decide the question that was causing much division at the time. Instead of clarifying the view of the Church, Honorius did nothing.His lack of action was so scandalous that for 3 centuries, each new Pope had to state at his coronation that he: “mites with eternal anathema the originators of the new heresy, Sergius, etc., together with Honorius, because he assisted the base assertion of the heretics.”

QAPHAYNE: Dude, it's obvious to anyone with a functioning medulla oblongata that you're engaging in what we popularly know as plagiarism. Don't lie, okay? I wasn't born yesterday. For the fact that you're slow doesn't necessarily prove that you're the the OP, rather it implied you're a lousy thief, albeit a very sloppy one. ![]() ![]() |

Shioooo just 10? Out of a total of 266? Which means the other 256 did the church proud.At 96.24 % the record is not bad.Only if the protestants have matched that record,the world would have been a better place.Not even the kings of isreal,the so called descendants of david can even match that record as they cannot even make 30% as only David,Josiah and Hezekiah found favour with God 1 Like |

6.Urban VI- reigned 1378-138 Urban VI happens to be the last Pope to be selected from outside of the College of Cardinals The same cardinals who elected him decided that they had made the wrong decision and they elected a new Pope in his place. The second election threw the Church into turmoil. There had been anti- popes, rival claimants to the papal chair.

7.POPE LIBERIUS reigned 352-66 Pope Liberius is the first Pope not to be canonised a saint. He reigned during the height of the Arian crisis during which a large majority of the Church believed that Jesus was not God, but merely a man. The Arian heresy was fought against by the Patriarch of Alexandria [bSaint Athanasius[/b] who consecrated Bishops without the proper permissions as required. Pope Liberius, rather than defending Athanasius, signed a document that supported those against him and condemned Athanasius. Towards the end of his reign he reinstated Athanasius . As a pope did nothing to stop the confusion spreading throughout the Church

8. John Paul II ![]() Known as the patron saint of child molesters. He did his utmost to cover up the widespread räpe of children by members of the priesthood. Under his watch, known child abusers where shuffled around to new parishes whenever parents caught wind of their actions and victims were bullied and blamed whenever they came forward. He even shielded priests who had räped other priests. He was canonized a saint for his efforts in April this year. |
