Cardinal Giulio's other endeavors on behalf of Pope Leo X were similarly successful, such that "he had the credit of being the prime mover of papal policy throughout the whole of Leo's pontificate".<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite web|url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/religion/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/clement-vii-pope|title=Clement VII, Pope |website=Encyclopedia.com}}</ref> In 1513, he was member of the [[Fifth Lateran Council]], assigned the task of healing the schism caused by [[conciliarism]].<ref name="auto7"/> In 1515, his "most significant act of ecclesiastical government" regulated prophetic preaching in the manner of [[Girolamo Savonarola]].<ref name="auto7"/> He later organized and presided over the Florentine Synod of 1517, where he became the first member of the Church to implement the reforms recommended by the Fifth Lateran Council.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> These included prohibiting priests from carrying arms, frequenting taverns, and dancing provocatively – while urging them to attend weekly confession.<ref name="Ashgate"/> Similarly, Cardinal Giulio's artistic patronage was admired (e.g., his commissioning [[Raphael]]'s ''[[Transfiguration (Raphael)|Transfiguration]]'' and [[Michelangelo]]'s ''[[Medici Chapels|Medici Chapel]]'', among other works), particularly for what goldsmith [[Benvenuto Cellini]] later called its "excellent taste".<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|url=http://www.catholic.org/encyclopedia/view.php?id=3029|title=Pope Clement VII |encyclopedia=Catholic Encyclopedia |via=Catholic Online}}</ref>
