I heard it put very neatly the other day: “I sigh for the days of Alexander VI. He was a bad guy, and did bad things. Now we’ve got a pope who wants everyone else to do bad things, so he can call it good.”

_Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

…

Who say to the seers, “You must not see visions”; And to the prophets, “You must not prophesy to us what is right, Speak to us pleasant words, Prophesy illusions.”
