"[The Pope] ought to think seriously of expelling prostitutes from the City, as St. Louis expelled them from Paris. It is a shameful thing that the Holy City, wherein is the head and fount of religion, should provide such ample opportunities for the evil passions of men. Adulterers, blasphemers, and those guilty of sodomy, ought to be punished with extreme severity according to the law of God in the Old Testament." St. Robert Bellarmine, De Reformatione, 14°, qtd. The Life and Work Of Blessed Robert Francis Cardinal Bellarmine, S.J. 1542-1621
