Emptying three boys of their blood in order to save the pope's life seems like sacrificing to me.

I said HIS political views.
Edit - And I don't care if you call ME a woman-hater or any other insult. I care when you insult whole cultures. Since you haven't retracted any of your statements, I'll keep having for you the contempt I save for xenophobes.

We have different cultures, haven't we? Different culture makes it so interesting to discuss our different views. That doesn't mean that the vatican culture, your, or mine, is better or worse, only different.
Originally posted by FabianFnasNothing was stated as to who made the promise. The statement seems to have the Pope in a coma at the time of the promise.

When the pope gives orders, boys obey.
I don't think the boys knew their lives were in any dangers. What would they do with their 1 ducat each, I wonder?

And two Very important lessons we're learned, albeit a tad late.
1. Drinking the blood of children doesn't help when dying,
2. children don't survive too well without said blood.
