It seems like somebody has actually tried to tackle the question.
"In all that time, there have been wonder-working saints, lecherous murderers, and many, many, mediocrities on the Papal throne—every kind of human being imaginable."
But I saw nothing in that link supporting the assertion that there were many more good Popes than corrupt ones. But again defining "corrupt" is key here. For example, is a Pope who did some good things but also was having sexual relations (after it was against the rules) a good Pope or a corrupt one?
Anyway, it's not my intention to debate the issue - but rather to just point out the problem of an historical assertion as casual as yours.
