I moved to Hive. You can read all my content there.
Due to a sad series of events steem is no longer decentralized nor censorship-resistant.
I don't know how it will look like in the future but right now it's more like a personal database than a proper blockchain.

    On Pope Benedict IX

    The history is complicated, but he was probably 12.

    Everyone agrees Benedict IX was awful.

    His third time as pope changed the course of European history.

    He was an awful guy; Made it to 'office' 3 times; He changed the course of Europe. WOW.

      When I was a child, I was reading a lot about royale families and popes, and remembered the fact we had some popes who where really young. BTW, at those time many popes had a LOT of children, officially not, but people knew, and they still could continue their 'job' as pope, or even become pope. Also interesting to know: popes had GREAT GREAT influence on the Kings around Europe and planning wars amongst each other (all the crusades), or kills of certain people; all to keep power of the church and personal power on all what was happening in Europe.
