He highlighted their rivalry and self-serving nature, suggesting that many were more concerned with personal gain than spiritual leadership. Despite this, he recognized their importance in the broader political landscape of Italy and Europe, acknowledging that their alliances and decisions could significantly impact the Medici family's interests.

How many Professional Thoroughbred riding Jockeys are there in the U.S.?
I have heard numbers from approximately 400-600. The actual number depends on several things. Jockeys have to have a license to compete and the number of licensed riders changes over time. Also, not every person who has a jockey's license actually rides in races, they might be an exercise rider who has a jock's license so they can ride in races three or four times a year. A lot of jockeys who ride regularly are members of the jockey's guild so a good idea of a more accurate number would be counting members of the guild, though there are plenty of riders who are not guild members.

Where did the idea cardinals in the Catholic Church come from?
The College of Cardinals is composed of those members of the clergy who elect a new Pope. Originally, the clergy of Rome elected the new Pope upon the death of the old one. So the College of Cardinals originated in the clergy of Rome. The College of Cardinals is composed of Cardinal Bishops, Cardinal priests, and Cardinal deacons. The bishops were originally the bishops of the Rome diocese. Early Christian Rome was divided into seven sections, each administered by a deacon, that is the origin of the Cardinal deacons. Cardinal priests are descended from the original priests of Rome and they still hold titular titles as priests of the various titular churches in Rome from when Rome was divided into various parishes in the fifth and sixth centuries.
What do Cardinal do?
The cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church have two key jobs, advising the current pope and electing a new pope. The cardinals as a body offer their advice to the pope in two ways: -- Through their membership in Vatican congregations or other departments of the Roman Curia, the church's central administrative offices. -- Through their membership in the College of Cardinals, which the pope can convoke to discuss substantive questions facing the church. Cardinals who are resident in Rome meet more frequently to discuss the major decisions the pope is facing. The College of Cardinals has three ranks: -- Cardinal bishops, a group that includes only six Latin-rite cardinals, one of whom is elected dean of the College of Cardinals. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the current Pope Benedict XVI, was the dean at the time of his election. He was succeeded by Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Vatican secretary of state. -- Cardinal priests, most of whom are diocesan bishops, although some senior curial officials also hold the rank. -- Cardinal deacons, most of whom are curial officials. Cardinals wear a distinctive orange-tinged red cassock and biretta in solemn ceremonies. During ordinary liturgical rites they wear a red skullcap. Pope Paul VI decreed that the College of Cardinals would have a maximum of 120 active members. Since 1970, those over 80 have not been counted as active. Although the retired cardinals are not eligible to vote in a conclave to elect a new pope, they still are considered advisers to the pope, and they are invited to participate in the meetings of the College of Cardinals in preparation for a conclave.
