Isn't the language implying the forcible taking of the "Seat of Peter" a little NPOV? Hopquick 22:40, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't think the word "revealingly" should have been added to the description of one of the quotes in the article. I think the reader can come to that conclusion for himself.-- Heathcliff 21:41, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
The former text read: "Theodora, whom Liutprand revealingly characterized as a "shameless whore..[who] exercised power on the Roman citizenry like a man [emphasis added]]." Liutprand's subtext is that the natural power structure has been reversed.Knowledgeable Wikipedia readers read Talk pages too, so the point has been well made, one way or the other. -- Wetman 04:10, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
Someone needs to add links to these sources that are referred to in the article, i.e. "as an unsympathetic source records". It is stated more than once, but there are no immediate links to these sources in the article [no footnotes] even though an explanation as to why they are the sources about Pope Sergius III is included.

Its been nearly a year since the above and the neutrality of this article is still suspect.
