	Pope Sixtus IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sixtus consented to the Spanish Inquisition and issued a bull in 1478 that established an Inquisitor in Seville, under political pressure from Ferdinand of Aragon, who threatened to withhold military support from his kingdom of Sicily.
		Nevertheless, Sixtus quarrelled over protocol and prerogatives of jurisdiction, was unhappy with the excesses of the Inquisition and took measures to condemn the most flagrant abuses in 1482, though he sold indulgences and is said to have fathered his sister's son.
		The cardinals of Sixtus IV At the death of Sixtus, the conclave of cardinals that met to elect his successor numbered thirty-two surviving cardinals, a greater number than at any time since the close of the twelfth century, excepting perhaps for the multiplied rival cardinalates of the Great Schism (1378-1417).

	Sixtus IV
		It is generally agreed that Sixtus himself was of good character — his enemy, Infessura, an anti-Papal Italian, accused him groundlessly of unnatural vice and general unscrupulousness — but in secular affairs he was particularly inept.
		Sixtus got involved in the Pazzi conspiracy, planned by his nephew, Cardinal Rafael Riario, and aiming to overthrow the Medici and bring Florence under his control.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Sixtus IV
		Sixtus continued the policy of his predecessor Paul II with regard to France, and denounced Louis XI for insisting on the royal consent being given before papal decrees could be published in his kingdom.
		The pope was cognizant of the plot, though probably not of the intention to assassinate, and even had Florence under interdict because it rose in fury against the conspirators and brutal murderers of Giuliano de' Medici.
		The attitude of Sixtus towards the conspiracy of the Pazzi, his wars and treachery, his promotion to the highest offices in the Church of such men as Pietro and Girolamo are blots upon his career.
