Some representatives of the Catholic Church opposed coffee at its first introduction in Italy, believing it to be the "Devil's drink", [54] but Pope Clement VIII, after trying the aromatic drink himself, gave it his blessing, thus boosting further its commercial success and diffusion. Upon tasting coffee, Pope Clement VIII declared: "Why, this Satan's drink is so delicious that it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it." [55] Clement allegedly blessed the bean because it appeared better for the people than alcoholic beverages. [56] The year often cited is 1600. It is not clear whether this is a true story, but it may have been found amusing at the time. [57]
