perhaps not, There are objections
1. The quote in question nowhere shows up in Eusebius, or any other early Church father for that matter. - See more at: http://americanvision.org/1903/was-eusebius-liar/#sthash.JDBRaSxB.dpuf
2. So where did this quote originate? Skeptics claim Leo said this to a member of his entourage who later attributed the quote to him. However, the quote has now been attributed to the 16th century satirist and playwright, John Bale. John Bale joined the Protestant movement after becoming disenchanted with the corruption of the Catholic church. He wrote many parodies in which he openly expressed his disdain of papal abuse. One of his satirical works known as The Pageant of the Popes is the actual source of the quote in question (paraphrased in modern English for the reader's convenience): "For on a time when a cardinal Bembus did move a question out of the Gospel, the Pope gave him a very contemptuous answer saying: All ages can testify enough how profitable that fable of Christ hath been to us and our company." (Pageant of the Popes Page 179) CONCLUSION: This quote is from a fictional 16th century work written as a parody. Presenting this as a legitimate quote would be as absurd as attributing a line from a Shakespearian play to the real life character whom an actor depicted.

I see why the Almighty uses the term “whore”.
