PARALLEL TO RENAISSANCE Year of our Lord 1497.
some time now, from the pulpit of San Marco in Florence, Savonarola preached
, and overflowing with terrific violence,
for a radical reform of the Church
denouncing the corrupt morals of the clergy and Casta (scusate. Curia ..) Papale.
The friar claimed that Alexander VI, the Borgia popes
one of the most discussed nepotism among those who went to the papal throne, had made Rome a
Sodom revived, referring
do not know how veiled, the great papal adviser, and
master of ceremonies, Cardinal "Sirca" Chigi.
The sermons of the "Grillo Howling" (as they had renamed) is
became increasingly heated, so that Alexander VI, after
tried to soothe her with the offer of a cardinal, and promptly broke the
launched excommunication.
Claims Brother of "howling" were not well-defined (arbitrary
would say) because attacking Alexander, and ask for their removal by
Ecumenical Council, would mean breaking down
very foundations of the Church, its dogmas, its immutable principles
and assuring the robustness of the Church over the centuries
the centuries, and again for ever, Amen. What
Savonarola "objected" to the Borgia was
that he had won, or rather purchased, the papal power with
simony, having liberally distributed to
voters in the conclave cardinals privileges of every kind: jobs, money,
ducats, abbeys, palaces ...
Among the cardinals who attended the conclave mephitic in
absolutely the most disgusting that the Church's history has ever boasted
, stood out:
Caesar "Maximum" Borgia, ambitious son of Alexander,
cardinal at the time of the election, in hereinafter scardinalizzato "
by his father and became Minister of Italy" in pectore "
for the Papal States;
Excellency Cardinal Battista Orsini
not to cause delay Much to the Palio, which was held in the then Duchy of Imola, used,
to deliberately and with son in tow, the well-stocked with plenty of car
Papale thoroughbred Arabs (then unbelievers) to the bite.
not forget that all 'Emiliana Ride
Papale took part in the beautiful daughter of Alexander, Lucrezia, "Williams"
Borgia, at least she allowed that would adversely
visit the Lord of Bologna that the plea bargain his fourth marriage
d' love in five years. Some argued that the last
son of Alexander, John, was the result of an incestuous love
between Lucrezia and her father-Pope (which was ten times the sin).
Benefits rushing, as the swollen river ...
Alessandro Farnese, being brother of the beautiful Giulia Farnese
(the lover of choice for Pope AlessandroVI), received a twenty-five years
red hat, and was known as Cardinal
Gonnella to be climbed so high his "thanks to
thanks" sister's adultery.
How can we forget the Cardinals "Dino" Column
which, together with a group of troublemakers dissatisfied cardinals,
was lacking the political support to Alexander
in one of its most delicate passages. From his castle in Florence, this kind of
cardinal threatened: <
...>> conscientiously while a few months already
blinked an eye at the most fierce opponent of Pope Alexander,
Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere (which was obviously Arcore ...)
...
Year of our Lord 2007
short: Savonarola "howling" did not then all the wrongs:
Rome had turned into a brothel, a brothel ...
The similarities with our time is nothing short of deafening, never
a period of history has shaped the political landscape with such a demonic
clarity.
not allow me to give opinions or to make predictions, there is history,
she will be my guide ...
Savonarola was burned in Piazza della Signoria in Florence
(at the second attempt, the day before a shower saved him);
few years after the Holy Vicar of Christ on earth, and
father of eleven children (at the time claimed that someone had scattered on the ground
twenty, four adopted and recognized as such then
) Alessandro VI had to return the mandate to
Creator: cause heart attack. The conclave, gathered in haste,
Pope hailed as the arch enemy of the Borgias, Giuliano della Rovere
(you know, the law of alternation ...). Past
the century as Pope Julius II, Cardinal della Rovere,
first act of his pontificate, he tried to organize,
league with Louis XII of France, a crusade against the Turks
(it would be stata la nona...). Fortunatamente non se ne fece nulla.
