«Papas Perversos» is the historical essay by Russel Chamberlin, published by Edições 70 in paperback (304 pages, in Portuguese).
It examines seven popes who ruled the Church of Rome in the six centuries before the Reformation, including Celestine V, Rodrigo Borgia and Boniface VIII. It shows how the union of religion and politics turned them into territorial princes who fought to dominate much of Italy, culminating in the sack of Rome in 1527.
This Portuguese edition was published in 2005. The cover bears the subtitle «A História como Romance» and the work originally appeared as The Bad Popes in 1969.
For readers interested in the history of the Church, the medieval papacy and biographical portraits of powerful and ambitious figures.
