, The Pope may err, and that in two ways, either because he is erroneously informed, or from malice.
God is the best helper, but He loves to be helped. Be earnest in prayer, but do not neglect human means.
Do you wish to be free? Then above all things, love God, love your neighbor, love one another, love the common weal; then you will have true liberty.
About this person
Girolamo Savonarola was a Dominican friar from Ferrara whose preaching in Renaissance Florence mixed apocalyptic vision with fury at corruption - clerical, political, economic. In September 1494, when Charles VIII invaded Italy, Savonarola's prophecies seemed to break open: the Medici fled, a republic rose in their place, and the friar became its effective ruler. He declared Florence the coming centre of Christianity and launched a moralistic crusade, recruiting the city's youth to enforce piety and feed bonfires piled with art, books, and vanities. When Florence refused to join Pope Alexander VI's Holy League in 1495, Rome summoned him; he refused to go, kept preaching under a ban, and was excommunicated in May 1497. A trial by fire proposed by a rival in April 1498 collapsed into chaos, and the city turned. On 23 May 1498, Savonarola and two fellow friars were hanged and burned in the square where he'd lit his fires.
