		The pope added that in four or five days from that time he would separately consult each of the cardinals, in their rank and order, so that in his own chamber he might have the true opinion and best advice of each of them; and he desired that they would all be prepared.
		The pope, in spite of his age and infirmities, made seventy visits to the churches, although the number of visits prescribed to Roman residents was thirty, and to strangers fifteen.
		Among that number was Stephen Calvin, a relation of John Calvin; the pope confirmed him, treated him as a son, and provided magnificently for the expenses of his stay in Rome until the moment of his admission into the order of the barefooted Carmelites, in which he died piously.

		In the early centuries of Christianity, popes struggled to establish their grip in an age when the Roman empire was collapsing and threats abounded from other cultures and religions.
		Pontiffs became absolute monarchs, with their own army, administration and lands, until other European kings re-asserted their own rights, shrinking the papacy's power and forcing it to revert to its age-old spiritual role.
		One of the most notorious popes was Alexander VI, from the scheming Borgia dynasty, who was both intensely ambitious and wealthy.
