"Since God has given us the papacy, let us enjoy it." -Pope Leo X

Pope Leo X says this to his brother when he became Pope. Pope Leo X was very carefree and tended to use the money that the Church received from taxes on fancy expensive trinkets and decorations to support his wealthy lifestyle. It highlights his luxurious nature and is the perfect quote to show why Martin Luther (of the Age of Reformation) was angered by the Church and its outrageos spendings.
