The Tudors Season 2

"Another scene I found distrubing was a scene with the pope and a little boy comes in and the pope says something (not exact) like "he shall make a fine cardinal someday). I had to wonder what was that boys position to come into scene with all these high powered catholics ? Or was this an artistic view from showtime leaving one to wonder something more dark ? If that was the case totally did not like that scene at all. Creeped me out."

I think the little boy was a relative of Pope Paul III..I'll have to watch that episode again as I may be remembering wrong. Of course, I wouldn't put it past Showtime to throw in a little sidebar suggestive that some of the scandals that plagued the Catholic church in recent memory also existed in the 16th century---and Pope Paul as played by Peter O'toole seems to be the master of double entrendes!
