MM, were any ‘excommunicated’? If not, then I have been lead to believe that certain sins only matter if you are. If you are the Pope, apparently you CAN be anti-semitic, exercise power to act on that AS, but still be not as bad as Luther was. After all, the Nazis used his anti-Jewish rant and wouldn’t have hated Jews except for Luther. So basically, AS was unknown in history before Luther and if it hadn’t been for him the poor Nazis would’ve loved the Jews and all those others they murdered, they were sinless until Luther pushed them over the edge.

I don't know.

My understanding is that most popes have been canonized as saints. I don't know if any in those two lists have been. I've never looked it up, but it just might be worth doing so....
