32. What does it matter? It's all a grand fable.
" It was pope Leo X who made the most infamous and damaging statement about Christianity in the history of the Church. His declaration revealed to the world papal knowledge of the Vatican's false presentation of Jesus Christ and unashamedly 'EXPOSED' the puerile nature of the Christian religion. At a lavish 'Good Friday' banquet in the Vatican in 1514, and in the company of "seven intimates" (Annales Ecclesiastici, Ceasar Baronius, Folio Antwerp, 1514, tome 14), Leo made an amazing announcement that the Church has since tried hard to invalidate. Raising a chalice of wine into the air, Pope Leo X toasted,"HOW WELL WE KNOW WHAT A PROFITABLE SUPERSTITION THIS FABLE OF CHRIST HAS BEEN FOR US AND OUR PREDECESSORS!"

He was succeeded by his son Pope Clement VII.

Name: Govanni de' Medici
Born: 1475
Bloodline: de' Medici
Married: Yes
Children: Father of Pope Clement VII and Pope Pius IV
Position: Pope (1513-1521)
Died: December 1, 1521 (age 46)
Was donated the title of one of the 25 most evil people of the 16th century CE.
