	Pope Paul II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Upon taking office, Pius II was to pledge to abolish the prevalent nepotism in the Curia, to improve the morals there, to engage in war on the Turks, and to convene an ecumenical council within three years.
		Consequently, when in 1466, attempting to downsize redundant offices, Paul II proceeded to annul the college of abbreviators, whose function it was to formulate papal documents, a storm of indignation arose, inasmuch as rhetoricians and poets had long been accustomed to benefiting from employment in such positions.
		In the matter of war on the Turks, the Pope rejected the one sovereign who might have taken the lead, King George of Podebrady of Bohemia, and the unfortunate Bohemian King prosecuted as a heretic, on the grounds that he upheld the conventions of Basel (see Jan Hus) in favor of the Utraquists.
