The central theme of Machiavelli's The Prince is that to succeed in acquiring and then retaining power, the prince or leader must use whatever means are at his disposal, even if those means are not regarded by the Church as virtuous. It was this concept that rendered his text controversial in an era in which lip service to spiritual virtues was more common than actual adherence to such virtues. Machiavelli (102 - 104)
