Saint Girolamo Savonarola (1452-1498). Girolamo Savonarola was a Florentine Dominican monk who was HORRIFIED by the scandalous conduct of Pope Borgia and his many bastard children. He was the forerunner of Martin Luther, but unlike Martin Luther, the only bible available to him was the corrupt Latin Vulgate Version of Jerome.
Pope Alexander VI wanted to silence Savonarola's denunciations of the corruption and immorality in the church and offered to make him a cardinal. Savonarola refused the offer. The Pope finally condemned Giroloma Savonarola for announcing he was a special messenger from God and excommunicated him.
