"There is a crackpot quality to this pontificate. Nothing is gained by
tripping over our own tongues trying to disguise, excuse, or justify
it. The Church was healthier under Alexander VI. A sinner, for sure. Yet
the Borgia pope was still an impressive man in many ways. The Church
would be better served by a pope who had all his wits plus a mistress on
the side than an erratic, mercy-mongering pretender to virtue."
From here.
