 Amazon.com: The Popes Against the Jews: The Vatican's Role in the Rise of Modern Anti-Semitism: Books: David I. Kertzer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Popes, for example, confined Jews in the Papal States to live in cramped ghettos without hospitals, denying them the right to work in most occupations--policies which remained in force into the 20th century, despite protests by Jewish leaders and even some Cardinals.
Indeed, there were Popes sympathetic to the Jews, who discouraged their mistreatment, but ironically, they ruled centuries before 1800; for example, Gregory IX, Innocent IV, Alexander VII, and Clement IV.
In 1247 for example, Pope Innocent IV issued an encyclical defending Jews from the ridiculous and surreal charge of Blood Libel, noting that Jewish law forbade consumption of blood.

The Renaissance Pope Leo X is well known for remarking on his election, "God has given Us the Papacy; now let Us enjoy it"; and the seventeenth-century pontiff Urban VIII conducted an elaborate magical ceremony in the papal apartments.
Maxwell-Stuart discusses the excesses of some of the Popes, their attempts to advance the causes of members of their own families, the furtherence of the interests of illegitimate children, the sale of church offices and indulgences, and the repression of other religious points of view.
The pope, in spite of the notion that he is appointed by God, is elected by bishops, and as the book reveals, often with less-than-holy intentions.
