Most sexually active Popes
The Papacy has a startling sexual history. Pope Sergius III arranged, with the help of his
mother, that his bastard
should become Pope after him. John XII, deposed in A.D. 963, turned St. John Lateran into a
brothel: he was
accused of adultery and incest. Leo VIII, who replaced him, died stricken in paralysis in the
act of adultery.
Benedict IX, elected Pope at the age of ten, grew up "in unrestrained license, and shocked the
sensibilities even
of a dull and barbarous age." Balthasar Cossa, elected Pope to end the Great Schism, later
admitted to incest,
adultery, and other crimes ("two hundred maids, matrons and widows, including a few nuns,
fell victims to his
brutal lust"). In one famous occurrence at the court of Pope Alexander VI, prostitutes were
called to dance naked
before the assembly, after which prizes were offered to those men who, in the opinion of the
spectators, managed
to copulate with the most number of prostitutes.
