Love Affairs of the Vatican Or The Favorites of the Popes by Angelo S. Rappoport is a historical account of the romantic relationships and scandals that occurred within the Vatican and amongst the popes throughout history. The book delves into the personal lives of the popes, including their mistresses, lovers, and illegitimate children. It also explores the political ramifications of these affairs and how they affected the Church's reputation and power. Rappoport draws from a variety of sources, including letters, diaries, and historical records, to paint a vivid picture of the Vatican's secret love affairs. This book provides a unique insight into the private lives of the popes and the inner workings of the Catholic Church.1912. This book was not written out of malice or love of scandal. It was conceived in a spirit of impartiality, animated by the wish to draw attention to the discrepancy existing between the noble and sublime teaching of Christ and the practice of His disciples. Dr. Rappoport endeavored to show the important part played by the favorites of the Popes, those Popes who preached abstinence and contempt for women, upon the history of the Vatican and Christianity. While exposing the intrigues of the Papal Court, he did not hesitate to do justice to the Popes who were worthy Vicars of Christ. In the result, he hoped that the reader animated by a sense of justice would find no cause of offense in this book, for he meant none. Illustrated.
