 Pope Sergius III
Sergius is reputed to have been the lover of Theodora's daughter Marozia, by whom he is said to have had a son, who became Pope John XI.
This was the beginning of the so-called "pornocracy".
Unlike John IX and his successors, Sergius was very hostile to the memory of Pope Formosus, and refused to recognize any of the ordinations celebrated by him, thus causing grave disorders.

 Touchstone Magazine - Mere Comments: Devils at Mass
Podles' constant emphasis on the freaks in the big Catholic tent and his hyperbole ("pornocracy" and "ceased to be Christians") should give the editors a clue that a bigot is fuming in their midst.
My colleague Dr. Podles is no bigot; he's a faithful Catholic, not a Lefebvrite or Feeneyite or anything of that sort, who has, in the last several years, borne the onerous burden of investigating the sexual corruption of the Catholic clergy.
I personally think the Church's lax handling of the pornocracy reverberated in its handling of a widespread clergy sex abuse crisis nearly ten centuries later.

They turned the church of St. Peter into a den of robbers, and the residence of his successors into a harem.
Hence this infamous period is called the papal Pornocracy or Hetaerocracy.
As nasty as the Cadaver Synod is, the next 60 years and 12 Popes are seen as so bad that the whole time period is given an overall title that indicates a time of horror and depravity, like “War of the Roses” or the “Star Wars Saga”.

 Nigel Cawthorne Sex Lives of the Popes
There was, of course, a woman Pope too, who was only found out when she gave birth in the street.
And there was a long period called the Papal Pornocracy, when the papacy was run by two women, mother and daughter, who alternately put their lovers and offspring on the papal throne.
Added to that there have been pornographers, lechers, homosexuals, paedophiles, womanisers, perverts, hypocrites and good old-fashioned adulterers who have occupied the Holy See.
