Correct answer: Pope Formosus

And this church claims to represent Christ. I don't think he'd be too impressed by their conduct then... or now.

Elfcounsel, I agree I think a lot of the popes took advantage of their position look at the inquisition that was shameful

Elfcounsel, I don't see it as the church. It is the man who is seen as a representative of the church.

swampyacres1, You are also correct! Scripture warns us to "beware of religion" and also "science, so called".

SoW, Quite right! Faith and religion are not the same/interchangeable. And it is crucial what/Whom one places one's faith in. It is a footless exercise to put faith in a man.

Faith is a precious thing to have. Religions are just part of a game of power

And yet when you come to church, they will say there is a holy man there 😛
