The same year, he organized the famous [[Swiss Guard]] for his personal protection and commanded a successful campaign in Romagna against the local lords. The interests of Julius II also lay in the New World, as he ratified the [[Treaty of Tordesillas]] (1506), establishing the first bishoprics in the Americas and starting the catholicization of [[Latin America]]. Commissioned the four [[Raphael Rooms]] and [[Michelangelo]]'s paintings in the [[Sistine Chapel]] (1508). Convened the [[Fifth Council of the Lateran]] (1512). Julius II was described by [[Machiavelli]] in his works as the ideal prince.

Came to the papacy in the midst of one of its greatest crises, threatened not only by Lutheranism to the north, but also by the advance of the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman Turks]] to the east. He refused to compromise with Lutheranism theologically, demanding Martin Luther's condemnation as a heretic. However, he is noted for his attempt to reform the Catholic Church administratively in response to the Protestant Reformation. Adrian VI's remarkable admission that the turmoil of the Church was the fault of the [[Roman Curia]] itself was read at the 1522–1523 Diet of Nuremberg. His efforts at reform, however, proved fruitless, as they were resisted by most of his [[Renaissance]] ecclesiastical contemporaries, and he did not live long enough to see his efforts through to their conclusion. }} {{pope list item | 219<br>[[File:C o a Medici popes.svg|40px]] | [[1523 papal conclave|26 November 1523]] –<br>25 September 1534<br>{{small|({{Age in years and days|1523|11|26|1534|09|25}})}} | [[File:Sebastiano del Piombo (Italian) - Pope Clement VII - Google Art Project.jpg|80px]] | '''[[Pope Clement VII|Clement VII]]'''<br>{{small|'''CLEMENS''' Septimus}} | Giulio di Giuliano de' [[House of Medici|Medici]] | 26 May 1478 Florence, Republic of Florence | 45 / 56 | Motto: {{lang|la|Candor illæsus}} {{small|("Unharmed candor")}}<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gcatholic.org/hierarchy/pope/C07.htm |title=Pope Clement VII (1523–1534) |publisher=GCatholic|access-date=1 April 2014|archive-date=21 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180721162253/http://www.gcatholic.org/hierarchy/pope/C07.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Citizen of the [[Republic of Florence]].
