GREETINGS,

I BET YOU DIDN’T LEARN IN YOUR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS HOW FOND SOME OF THE POPES WERE OF BLACK WOMEN.DID YOU KNOW THAT POPE CLEMENT VII HAD WHAT IS NOW TERMED “JUNGLE FEVER”!

POPE CLEMENT WAS SO TAKEN BY THE BEAUTY OF BLACK WOMEN THAT HE TOOK A BLACK WOMAN BY THE NAME OF ANNA(WHO WAS AT THE TIME A SERVANT OF CALAVECCHIO,ITALY) AS A CONCUBINE.YEAP, YOU READ IT RIGHT!

FROM THIS UNION SHE BIRTHED A SON BY THE NAME OF ALESSANDRO IN 1511. HE(ALESSANDRO) BECAME REIGNING DUKE OF FLORENCE. HE THEN MARRIED THE ONLY DAUGHTER(BY THE NAME OF MARGARET) OF EMPEROR CHARLES V,THE RULER OF GERMANY, THE NETHERLANDS,AUSTRIA,AND SPAIN IN 1536.
