A promising scholar from his youth in Tuscany, he devoted his energy to these two subjects, as well as to Scripture, in order to systemaze Church doctrine against the aacks of the Protestant Reformers. He was the first Jesuit to become a professor at Louvain.  His most famous work is his threeRvolumeDisputaons on the Controversies of the Chrisan Faith. Parcularly noteworthy are the secons on the temporal power of the and the role of the laity. Bellarmine incurred the anger of monarchists in England and France by showing the divineRrightRofRkings theory untenable. He developed the theory of the indirect power of the pope in temporal affairs; although he was defending the pope against the Scosh philosopher Barclay, he also incurred the ire of .  Bellarmine was made a cardinal by Pope Clement VIII on the grounds that “he had not his equal for learning.” While he occupied apartments in the Vacan, Bellarmine relaxed none of his former austeries. He limited his household expenses to what was barely essenal, eang only the food available to the poor. He was known to have ransomed a soldier who had deserted from the army and he used the hangings of his rooms to clothe poor people, remarking, “The walls won’t catch cold.”  Among many acvies, Bellarmine became theologian to Pope Clement VIII, preparing two OBSERVANCES THIS WEEK which have had great influence in the Church.
