"It has served us well, this myth of Christ." Pope Leo X quotes

Pope Leo X, born Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici ) was Pope from 1513 to his death in 1521. He is known primarily for his failure to stem the Protestant Reformation, which began during his reign when Martin Luther (1483–1546) first accused the Roman Catholic Church of corruption.


"Since God has given us the papacy, let us enjoy it."

"It is a heretical opinion, but a common one, that the sacraments of the New Law give pardoning grace to those who do not set up an obstacle."

"To deny that in a child after baptism sin remains is to treat with contempt both Paul and Christ."

"The inflammable sources of sin, even if there be no actual sin, delay a soul departing from the body from entrance into heaven."

"To one on the point of death imperfect charity necessarily brings with it great fear, which in itself alone is enough to produce the punishment of purgatory, and impedes entrance into the kingdom."

"That there are three parts to penance: contrition, confession, and satisfaction, has no foundation in Sacred Scripture nor in the ancient sacred Christian doctors."

"Hence, I say, trust confidently, if you have obtained the absolution of the priest, and firmly believe yourself to have been absolved, and you will truly be absolved, whatever there may be of contrition."

"Christians must be taught to cherish excommunications rather than to fear them."

"Sins are not forgiven to anyone, unless when the priest forgives them he believes they are forgiven."

"It has served us well, this myth of Christ."

"For on a time when a cardinall Bembus did move a question out of the Gospell, the Pope gave him a very contemptuous answer saying: All ages can testify enough how profitable that fable of Christ hath been to us and our company."

Does that justify the mistakes of the Roman Church?

"The end does not justify the means sire! "

What's wrong with the quote? Coz some people would say that the intention of the church was right during the INQUISTION and the CRUSADES!
