The medieval and Renaissance popes covered in Chamberlin’s book were bad in different ways, but the Theophylact, Borgia, and Medici popes were especially deplorable. Even setting aside the more outrageous accusations (like that of rampant incest among the Borgia family, which Chamberlin does not consider credible), it’s a tale of breathtaking scandal.
It is useful for Catholics to remember that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ, who remains the head of the Church.
