Is this an accurate translation, or was the Quote originally in English? Pope Leo X's native language was Italian.

Usage in Language:

  • In English, “superstition” typically refers to beliefs or practices that are not based on scientific reasoning or evidence. It often carries a negative connotation, implying irrationality or ignorance. For example, one might say that believing in luck associated with certain numbers is a superstition.

  • In contrast, the Italian word “superstizione” can also denote similar beliefs but may not always carry the same negative implications. In Italy, superstitions are often interwoven with cultural traditions and practices. For instance, certain superstitions may be embraced as part of cultural identity rather than dismissed outright as irrational. This difference reflects broader cultural attitudes toward superstition in Italy compared to English-speaking countries.'

And that's not counting the difference in usage over time, or the context in which the Quote was used.
