Quotes 

• Rodrigo Borgia : Wherefore in the name of God The all Powerful, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, of blessed Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and of all the Saints, in virtue of the power which has been given us of binding and loosing in Heaven and on earth. We deprive the friar, Girolamo Savonarola himself and all his abettors of the Communions of the Body and Blood of Our Lord; we separate him from the society of all Christians; we exclude him from the bosom of our Holy Mother the Church in Heaven and on earth. We declare him excommunicated and anathematized, and we judge him condemned to eternal fire with Satan and his angels and all those damned. So long as he will not burst the fetters of the demon, do penance and satisfy the Church. We deliver him to Satan to mortify his body that his soul may be saved on the day of judgment.

• Cesare Borgia : Father. The friar, Savonarola, he's been disgraced. The people of Florence celebrate.

  Rodrigo Borgia : Ah! We greet this good news with caution. Has he confessed?

  Cesare Borgia : He will. He's being hauled to Rome as we speak.

  Rodrigo Borgia : Oh, so all is not yet won.

  Cesare Borgia : Father, when the rack embraces him, he will confess.

  Rodrigo Borgia : But he must be seem to be guilty hence the need for his confession. The people must understand that no one is at liberty to impugn the office of the papacy. No one! And he must sign his confession and then...

  Cesare Borgia : And then we will put him to the fire.

  Rodrigo Borgia : A public spectacle. And no relics must remain.
