He was a terrible antiSemite.

If that's the charge, then he should have attained sainthood from the Catholics. Just like their Pope Pius V from the same era did when he expelled the Jews from the Papal states. Now Luther talked poorly about Jews, your saintly Popes expel them from their homes. If I look, I'm sure I'll see the same level of condemnation for Pius V then, right? Thought not.

Well I don’t know about Pius, but if there is antiSemitism it is wrong. That said, I don’t cotton to the idea that every person who was appointed to Peter’s Chair was perfect or has to be regarded as having been perfect. Is everyone of your pastors or bishops or whatever you have perfect? Peter’s Chair is perfect. The broken humans chosen for it have big shoes to fill. Even Peter wasn’t perfect. Old David sure wasn’t perfect. Imperfect Popes paid for it I am sure when they were finally judged. That said there have been some great ones.
