Borgia apartment - Vatican

Pope Alexander VI is probably one of the most controversial popes in Catholic history. And yet, and yet, the nuns who taught us our religion never breathed a word about him. 

This is how some faiths are destroyed - when Catholics find out later in life that they were never told some of the awful, awful truths about their religion. 

And so I made it a point to visit the Borgia apartments that are now part of the Vatican Museum. 

The first thing that came to mind was - how could a holy man lie in bed looking at THOSE GOLDEN KNOBS in the ceiling?

The next thing I thought of was - how could a holy man have those devil-like paintings on his walls? 

I am glad, though, that the Church preserved his apartments. I guess it is to show that evil can be present in the holiest of places.
