Quote for the Day:

Adrian did not appear in Rome until late in August 1521, almost eight months after his election, owing in part to an outbreak of plague. He made his intent clear at once. Addressing the College of Cardinals at his first consistory, he said that evils in the clergy and Papacy had reached such a pitch that, in the words of Saint Bernard, "those steeped in sin could no longer perceive the stench of their own iniquities." The ill repute of Rome, he said, was the talk of the whole world, and he implored the Cardinals to banish corruption and luxury from their lives and, as their sacred duty, to set a good example to the world by joining him in the cause of reform. His audience was deaf to the plea.

1. Love the quote

The princes of the church didn't want to give up their bling, their mistresses, their banquets and hunting parties and all the trappings of royalty, it was the only way younger sons of nobility could succeed to that extent.

Adrian was licked before he started.

Speaking of which, efforts to shore up the ruble have only stalled its descent. It's holdling steady at 99+ rubles against the US dollar.
