Explanation:

    Considering the Renaissance Period: The term "Renaissance Popes" means the pontiffs who ruled the Church in the time of Humanism. They favored the arts in general. The popes of this period were: Nicholas V (1447-1455), Calixto II (1455-1458), Pius II (1458-1464) Paul II (1464-147l) Sixto IV (1471-1484), Innocent VIII (1484-1492) ), Alexander VI (1492-1503), Pius III (1503), Julius II (1503-1513) and Leo X (1513-1521). This series of popes was glorious from a human and Renaissance point of view. Unfortunately the same cannot be said in the moral and ecclesiastical aspect. Many have endeavored to support the arts, yet forgetting to renew Church discipline and other more urgent needs.
