Actually, it was St. Paul who said that, not a pope. He wrote in Galatians 5:12, 6:12-13, 6:15 "I wish the people who are bothering you would go the whole way and castrate themselves...It is those who want to look good outwardly who are tying to get you to be circumcised."
Alexander Pope.
Pope John XXlll said this at the Second Vatican Council
Pope Leo X is attributed with saying, "God has given us the papacy, let us enjoy it." This quote is often used to highlight the luxurious and extravagant lifestyle of the papacy during the Renaissance period.
Benjamin Franklin
He quarrelled with the pope . This dude also killed a priest and King John just said 'release him, he has killed an enemy of mine. Untie him and let him go.' After he had quarrelled with the pope he ordered all the monks at Canterbury , including the blind and crippled, out of the country! HE said that all monks were PUBLIC ENEMIES.
Is it just me or does anyone else detect a tinge of mockery in Pope's epitaph on Newton especially given Pope's rather robust (some would say virulent) style of writing. "NATURE and Nature's Laws lay hid in Night: God said, "Let Newton be!" and all was light.
because king Henry wanted to choose his own bishops and threatened the pope to let him so then the pope excommunicated him but the king Henry notice he was losing respect so he put on a fur shirt (what beggars and peasants wore) and went to the popes winter palace in the alps the problem was it was freezing but Henry marched there and begged the pope to let him inside but the pope said no and went to sleep then the next morning the pope notice Henry was still there in the same spot he stood in the snow all night long. but the pope wasn't impressed and went back to bed then the next morning he went to check if Henry was gone but it turned out he stood out there all night again so pope Gregory let him inside and accepted his apology and recommunicated henry
no because Henry wanted to get adivorce but the pope wouldn't let him and the catholic religion wouldn't let him so he made up his own church
Supposedly God said "Let there be light"
God said let there be light! He said let there be life! He said let there be something for Americans to overspend and overreat!
Good, better, bestNever let it restuntil your good is betterand your better is bestThe meaning is that if you try, there is always room for importantNobody is perfect!!
the pope would not let him divorce Cathrine of aragon because in the catholic church divorce was banned . So Henry created the church of England .
