What were Pope Alexander VI's accomplishments?

Answer 1

Pope Alexander VI (1431-1503) was Pope from 1492 to 1503. He is remembered more for the not so good things of his papacy than the good things. A few of the good things that he is remembered for are that he: * Put an end to the lawlessness which reigned in the city of Rome

* Fortified Rome as defense from attack and siege

* Fostered literature and science

* Had a tolerant policy towards the Jews

* Sent the first missionaries to the New World

Answer 2

Pope Alexander VI showcased what was wrong with the papacy and the church. He was accused and found guilty of simony (selling church artifacts). He was also more concerned about advancing his personal agenda as well as his families (Borgia Family). Furthermore he openly acknowledged mistresses he had and the children they bore, this being against the traditional chaste lifestytle of popes. Lastly his absurd behaviour led to Luther writing the Ninety Five These, fourteen years after Pope Alexander VI's death.
