  Background
  Sinisbaldo Fieschi was born in Manarola, Liguria (North coastal Italy) into the ancient and powerful Fieschi bloodline. The Fieschi had held power over a large part of Tuscany and the coast of Genoa and the north from the beginning of the 11th Century until the 16th Century.
  In 1010, Holy Roman Emperor Henry (also King of Italy) granted the family the fief Counts of Lavagna and Imperial Vicars General (ie Viceroys) of the whole of Tuscany and of the coast of Genoa.
  By the time Sinisbaldo Fieschi was born, the Fieschi was one of the wealthiest families in Italy and Europe, heavily involved in the Guelphs -- the political faction of noble and Papal families supporting hereditary Papal selection (from the families) versus ongoing intervention from the Holy Roman Emperors (Ghibellines).
  Until Sinisbaldo Fieschi, the Counts of Lavagna had traditionally not involved themselves in the business of purchasing Cardinals hats and the Papacy, nor the continuing feud between the powerful Papal bloodline families of the Colonna and the Orsini (and allies).
  However, on September 18, 1227 under Ugolino di Conti (Pope Gregory IX 1227-1241) Sinisbaldo Fieschi was made Cardinal Priest of S. Lorenzo in Lucina at aged 32. The next year, Cardinal Fieschi was elevated to the position of Vice-Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church (July 28, 1228) and governor of the March of Ancona (December 1234 until 1240).
  When Pope Gregory IX died on August 22, 1241, the war between Cardinals allied to the Hohenstaufen Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II and the Orsini reached a new high point. Cardinal Giovanni Colonna had aligned himself with the Emperor, presumably in the hope of the Papacy, while the all powerful Matteo Rosso Orsini (1178–1246) as senator of Rome held control of the remaining curia.
  To force the hand of the cardinals that made it to Rome, Matteo Rosso Orsini (father of future Pope Nicholas III (1277-1280) forced them to be locked away in one of the last remaining public buildings still standing from ancient pagan Rome- the Septizodium. In spite of the horrendous conditions, the Cardinals held out for two months before finally electing Holy Roman Emperor supporter Godfrey Crivelli- Castiglione, the son of Uberto Crivelli (Pope Urban III) as Pope Celestine IV.
  The first (and last) official act of this Pope was to excommunicate Matteo Rosso Orsini and strip him of his powers, only to be murdered on November 10, 1241 - 18 days after his election, a new election for a new Pope was called.
  Cardinal Sinisbaldo Fieschi, Count of Lavagna was elected Pope Innocent IV on June 28, 1243 almost eight months after the murder of Pope Celestine IV.
  As part of a range of peace offerings in negotiation with the Cardinals allied with the Emperor, Pope Innocent made Goffredo Castiglioni, the son of the slain Pope Clement IV a Cardinal on May 28, 1244 --presumably at a very young age.
  Then in 1245, Pope Innocent IV issued his Papal bull stating claim to legal control of the whole world and all peoples. Not content with the Donation of Constantine, Innocent IV asserted that when Constantine gave to the Church had not belonged to him at all, for Europe has always belonged to the Church. In an encyclical published shortly after the close of the Council of Lyons in 1245, Innocent expressly stated:

"It is wrong to show ignorance of the origin of things and to imagine that the Apostolic See's rule over secular matters dates only from Constantine. Before him this power was already in the Holy See. Constantine merely resigned into the hands of the Church a power which he used without right when he was outside her pale. Once admitted into the Church, he obtained, by the concession of the vicar of Christ, authority which only then became legitimate. "
  Furthermore, Pope Innocent stated that the pope's acceptance of the Constantine Donation was but a visible sign of his sovereign dominion over the whole word, and hence of all the wealth to be found on earth.
  However, Pope Innocent IV is probably best known for his diplomatic and military battles against Frederick II which ultimately led to the demise of the Holy Roman Emperor.
 

Finding his position in Rome insecure, Innocent IV secretly withdrew in the summer of 1244 to Genoa, and thence to Lyon, where he summoned a general council which met in 1245. The council did not see the presence of delegates from the whole of Europe, the bishops present being mostly Spanish and French. Frederick II's position was defended by Taddeo of Suessa, who was however unable to prevent his deposition on July 17. The agitation caused by this act throughout Europe terminated only with Frederick II's death in December 1250, which permitted the Pope to return, first to Perugia, where he remained in 1251-1253, and afterwards to Rome.
  He died in 1254 and was succeeded by Pope Alexander IV (1254-1261).
  Most Evil Crimes
 
 List of most evil crimes
Type Year Crime
    Of moral depravity and indecency for the purpose of torture: (1244) The Church Council of Norbonne decrees that all heresy sentences must include mandatory flagellation. That the new law is adopted as standard church practice.
    Of publishing a false document/statement: (1245) That Pope Innocent IV did knowing and deliberately commit fraud in stating claim to legal control of the whole world and all peoples. Not content with the Donation of Constantine, Innocent IV asserted that when Constantine gave to the Church had not belonged to him at all, for Europe has always belonged to the Church. In an encyclical published shortly after the close of the Council of Lyons in 1245, Innocent expressly stated:

"It is wrong to show ignorance of the origin of things and to imagine that the Apostolic See's rule over secular matters dates only from Constantine. Before him this power was already in the Holy See. Constantine merely resigned into the hands of the Church a power which he used without right when he was outside her pale. Once admitted into the Church, he obtained, by the concession of the vicar of Christ, authority which only then became legitimate. "

Furthermore, Pope Innocent did falsely state that the pope's acceptance of the Constantine Donation was but a visible sign of his sovereign dominion over the whole word, and hence of all the wealth to be found on earth.
    Of historic crimes against humanity for the purpose of embedding satanistic practices: (1252) That Pope Innocent IV in Ad exstirpanda (Papal Bull) issued on May 15, 1252 did explicitly authorized the use of torture for eliciting confessions from heretics during the Inquisition and explicitly condoned the practice of executing relapsed heretics by burning them alive. The bull conceded to the State a portion of the property to be confiscated from convicted heretics. The State in return assumed the burden of carrying out the penalty. That previously, no document in history had claimed legal authority to carry out such evil and is a milestone in the successful introduction of Satanism and sadism into the generally accepted practice of society. Furthermore, it is one of the most clear crimes revealing the true dynastic nature of the Vatican since the first formation of Christianity right up until the present day as an organisation wholly dedicated to deception and cruelty.
