For what can be more alien to the curia than religion?
De curiae commodis (1457)
And so what kind of mindlessness is it that would rather have the high priests be poor instead of rich? One can read and hear that out of all peoples, all sects, and all religions the high priests have always been the greatest of men as well as the most wealthy.
De curiae commodis (1457)
No one is spared, whether he is absent or present, and everyone is equally attacked, to the great guffawing and laughter of all. Dinner parties, tavern life, pandering, bribes, thefts, adultery, sexual degradation, and shameful acts are publicly revealed. From this one acquires not only pleasure but also the greatest utility, since the life and character of all is thus placed before your eyes.
