While allegations of simony in this conclave still circulate today, there is no legitimate basis for them. "The wealth needed to buy the votes of so many rich and supposedly hostile men to tempt them to elect a Spanish Pope against their inclinations would have been far beyond even Rodrigo's means". Had such been decisive, Giuliano, surely, would have been elected. In fact, Bernardino de Carvajal, a Spaniard and friend of Rodrigo, delivered a speech before the Sacred College in which he laid out vices found within the Church and exhorted the cardinals to choose a pontiff who would restore Her virtue. He pleaded, "The whole Church has [H]er eyes upon you, Excellent Fathers; give [H]er a Pontiff who may draw after him to salvation all [C]hristian nations, through the very odor of his good name"....

....The people loved him. After his election, "the greatest honor was done to him throughout the city by the Roman people with triumphal arches and with more than there was ever done to other [p]opes." He was crowned in "a ceremony of unprecedented grandeur", where more than 800 notable leaders came to pay him homage, and he was showered with compliments – in an above-and-beyond fashion – by many ambassadors. Here, he gave a special greeting to our rabbinical brethren. At the pope's instruction, the celebrations were also uplifting: a Eucharistic procession was to be the focus of the event, countless coins were thrown into the crowd, and all of his revenues were donated. Sung at the coronation was, "Hic est sacerdos Alexander quem coronavit Dominus. Alleluia." (This is the priest, Alexander, whom the Lord has crowned. Alleluia.)

Luther, a monk, breaks his vow of chastity = bad.
Rodrigo Borgia, a priest / bishop / cardinal, breaks his vow of chastity with multiple women, fathers seven illegitimate children, and still rises to the papacy = good.

Got it.
