*Not one pope fathered a child while Pope. Several popes were however scandalous louts BY CATHOLIC STANDARDS who had been quite sinful BEFORE their ordinations.

...QUIT SWALLOWING YOUR RC PROPAGANDA AND GO READ ABOUT POPE ALEXANDER VI...NOT ONLY WAS HE A HEDONIST WHO ENJOYED IMPREGNATING YOUNG WOMEN, HE WAS BOTH A PEDOPHILE AND A PIMP!

Personal rule of mine: do not debate with someone who launches into all caps. (Yes, Alexander VI was a horrid man, widely regarded as the most sensuously sinful pope in history, and is best known for an orgy. But his last child, a bastard, was born in 1492, just before his election to the papacy.)

HE WAS BOTH A PEDOPHILE AND A PIMP!

That's the first I've ever heard of the pedophile charge. Pimp, pervert, crook -- those I knew. But pedophile?
