Pope Adrian VI did not completely understand the gravity of the situation during Reformation. At the Diet of Nyremberg which opened in December 1522 he was represented by Francesco Chiericati, whose private instructions contain the frank admission that the disorder of the Church was perhaps the fault of the Roman Curia itself, and that it should be reformed. However, the former professor and Inquisitor General was strongly opposed to any change in doctrinal, and demanded that Luther be punished for teaching Herecy.
The statement in one of his works that a pope may error, privately or in a minor decree, including matters of faith, attracted attention.
WI the views of Adrian VI were adopted and the Church admitted her errors in 16th century? If Chiericati followed his instructions and blamed the Curia for the turmoil in the Church what happens next? How is this affects Reformation and History? Any thoughts?
