Early Renaissance Popes with Bry and Fry of Pontifacts

from Tudoriferous · host Tudoriferous

We've covered all of the popes who ran the Catholic Church during Henry VII's reign (and at least one who didn't), and who better to tell us how we've done than Bry and Fry from "Pontifacts - ranking all of the Popes from Peter to Leo XIV"! Listen on to hear why we let Sixtus IV off far too lightly, why pious men don't make good Renaissance Popes, and why Julius II was just so, so obsessed with Alexander VI. And why didn't they listen to Burchard?   Find Pontifacts here! https://pontifacts.podbean.com/ And on many, many other podcatchers.   Join our Patreon family for yet more episodes and to join our Discord - Tudoriferous | creating a Podcast discussing the great, good and mad Tudor Era | Patreon   Relevant Episodes of Tudoriferous - Pope Sixtus IV Pope Innocent VIII Pope Alexander VI Pope Pius III Pope Julius II (though this one is mostly on the Alum trade - to get properly into Julius II's story, start here with part two)
