Fascinating account of the incredible decedence of the renaissance, the corruption of the popes of the time (such as Il Papa Terribile, Julius II, the Medici popes), the incredible talent but backbiting of the artists (such as Bramante, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Bernini), and the resulting reformation forged by Luther in response to the licentiousness, usury and "selling" of salvation.

It's a great read so far. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #35 August 11, 2006 The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides. I'll probably finish it tonight or tomorrow, and then it'll be Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho by Stephen Rebello. And I also have The Straight Girl's Guide to Sleeping with Chicks sitting on my desk, but I'm not reading it cover to cover; I occasionally open it to a random page and read a bit.

I like an eclectic mix. I'm going to get a copy of what you're reading. I've seen many of the duomos and cathedrals built during that era. The amazing beauty of those churches built while the masses lived in abject poverty . . . I'm trying to raise my children to be more critical thinkers than that.
