Note 429 — Chapter VI · RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE (Continued)
George Herbert Ely translation
“Who then has supported these men?” cries Alberto Pio: “the dignitaries of the church, and the highest of them! They have maintained at their voluptuous court these men with their half pagan leanings, who pour contempt on all that is dear to the people, and strive only to overturn existing things.”
[Pio was prince da Carpi, and a nephew of Pico della Mirandola.]
