"Canonized in hell?" Perhaps this was meant to be "condemned to hell," or some equivalent. Can anyone verify from the source? As it is, it makes no sense. InvisibleSun, 8/29/05

It's true enough. Popes cannot actually condemn someone to hell, as they believe that this is for their god to do. However, in a unique move Pius declared Sig. a kind of "anti-saint" and by this "canonisation" made hell his home. See, for instance, [1]. Most of the good sources for his life are old and in print, however. 194.129.118.250 10:43, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Need to add something from Burkhardt, who said he was guilty of murder, rape, adultery, incest, sacrilege, perjury, and treason, not to mention attempting to have his son, Roberto, murdered. I don't think Burkhardt approved of him. . . . --Michael K. Smith 13:30, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
