NOTICE BY THE TRANSLATOR. T will be obvious at a glance to the reader, that this I work emanates from Catholic authorship, and dis- cusses the great religiooua crisis thmugh which thecburch and the world are now passing from a Catholic, though a "liberal Catholic," point of view. That it bears evi- dence of no common attbents and grasp of mind a very cursory examination will suflice to show. An English translation is offered to the public under the belief that there are very many in this country, as wen Protestants as Catholics, who will gladly avail them- selves of an opportunity of learning,'on the most direct authority, how the grave questions which just now sitate the Church are regarded by the members of a school, mody if not numericdy strong, within her pale, who yield indeed to none in their loyd devotion x Notice by the TransZaalor. to Catholic truth, but are unable to identify its interests with the advance of Ultramontanism, or rather, who cannot but recognise between the two an antithesis which the Church history of the last thousand years too eloquently attests, and to which present facts, no less than past experience, give all the significance of a solemn warning it would be worae than unwisdom to ignore. Two rival tendencies, alien alike in their principles and their aims, which have long been dently develop- ing themselves, are now contending for the mastery within the bosom of the Church, like the unborn babes in Rebekah's womb, and it is simply a truism to assert that every section of our divided Christendom is inter- ested in the result of the atruggle.

At such a moment, it is proposed, amid the fervid acclamations of one party, the earnest and sorrowful protests of another, the careless acquiescence or sullen indiffer- ence of a host of nominal believers, and the triumphant sneers of an amused but unbelieving outside world, to erect Papal Infallibility into an article-and therefore inevitably the cardinal article-of the Catholic faith. Under a profound sense of the range and gravity of the issues involved this work was written, and with a simi- lar feeling, which each day's experience only deepens, it has been translated Man's necessity, we know, is God's opportunity, and even at the eleventh hour He may stretch forth His arm to save His menaced and afflictedChurch. "Oculi omnium in Te sperant, Domine, et Tu das escam illorum in tempore opportuno." We cannot, indeed, forget that two years elapsed before the cecnmenical pretensions of the Latrmnium of Ephesus were formally superseded, and that for more than twenty the Church lay, technically at least, under the reproach of heresy inflicted on her by the Council of Rimini, to which St. Jerome gave expression in the Notice 6y the Translator. well-known words, "Ingemuit totus orbis et Arianum se esse miratus est."

PREFACE. HE immediate object of this work is to investigate T by the light of history those questions which, we are credibly informed, are to be decided at the CEcu- menical Council already announced. And as we have endeavoured to fuMl this task by direct reference to original authorities, it is not perhaps too much to hope that our labours mill attract attention in scient3c a circles, and serve as a contribution to Ecclesiastical History. But this work aims also at something more than the mere calm and aimless exhibition of histori- cal events ; the reader will readily perceive that it has it far wider scope, and deals with ecclesiastical politics, -.in one word, that it is a pleading for very life, an appeal to the thinkers among believing Christians, a protest based on history against a menacing future, against the programme of a powerful coalition, at one time openly proclaimed, at another more darkly insi- xiv Preface. nuated, and which thousands of busy hands are daily and hourly employed in carrying out. We have written under a deep sense of anxiety in presence of a serious danger, threatening primarily the internal condition of the Catholic Church, and then- as is inevitable with what affects a corporation includ- ing 180 millions of men-destined to assume vaster dimensions, and take the shape of a great social pro- blem, which cannot be without its influence on eccle- siastical communities and nations outside the Catholic Church. This danger does not date from yesterday, and did not begin with the proclamation of the Council. For some twenty-four years the reactionary movement in the Catholic Church, which is now swollen to a mighty torrent, has been manifesting itself, and now it is pre- paring, like an advancing flood-tide, to take possession of the whole organic life of the Church by means of this Council. We-and the plural must not here be understood figuratively, but literally-we confess to entertaining that view of the ~athokChurch and her mission which its opponents designate by that much-abused term, so convenient in its vagueness for polemical pur- Preface.

  • Papal Overlordship and Protectio of the King, C.1000-1300
    1 PAPAL OVERLORDSHIP AND PROTECTIO OF THE KING, c.1000-1300 Benedict Wiedemann UCL Submitted for the degree of PhD in History 2017 2 I, Benedict Wiedemann, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Papal Overlordship and Protectio of the King, c.1000-1300 Abstract This thesis focuses on papal overlordship of monarchs in the middle ages. It examines the nature of alliances between popes and kings which have traditionally been called ‘feudal’ or – more recently – ‘protective’. Previous scholarship has assumed that there was a distinction between kingdoms under papal protection and kingdoms under papal overlordship. I argue that protection and feudal overlordship were distinct categories only from the later twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Before then, papal-royal alliances tended to be ad hoc and did not take on more general forms. At the beginning of the thirteenth century kingdoms started to be called ‘fiefs’ of the papacy. This new type of relationship came from England, when King John surrendered his kingdoms to the papacy in 1213. From then on this ‘feudal’ relationship was applied to the pope’s relationship with the king of Sicily. This new – more codified – feudal relationship seems to have been introduced to the papacy by the English royal court rather than by another source such as learned Italian jurists, as might have been expected. A common assumption about how papal overlordship worked is that it came about because of the active attempts of an over-mighty papacy to advance its power for its own sake.

BLACKWELL, BROAD STREET HCMXVI 5 PREFACE The present thesis has grown out of the Lothian Essay for 1914 on the Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals. The conclusions of that essay remain the same : but the form and * order have been re-cast, and the general arguments have been amplified, and I hope strengthened, after a year's further reading. It will be very clear that the subject has not been exhausted. I have not discussed, for instance, as it was not strictly relevant, the Prankish Church in the ninth century from the economic and doctrinal points of view. Nor have I drawn suflSciently upon the volu- minous erudition of German critics. All this in better days must be done. But, seeing that there is not in English any comprehensive sketch of the Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals, I have thought fit to publish this thesis as it stands. I am much indebted to the Rev. A. J. Carlyle, D.Litt., for the exceeding value of his criticisms before and after going into print.

  • 127-San Pietro in Vaticano.Pages
    Saint Peter’s Basilica Vatican City The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri), officially known in Italian as the Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano and commonly known as Saint Peter's Basilica, is located within the Vatican City. Saint Peter's Basilica has the largest interior of any Christian church in the world, holding 60,000 people. It is the symbolic "Mother church" of the Catholic Church and is regarded as one of the holiest Christian sites. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world" and as "the greatest of all churches of Christendom". In Catholic tradition, it is the burial site of its namesake Saint Peter, who was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and, according to tradition, first Bishop of Rome and therefore first in the line of the papal succession. Tradition and some historical evidence hold that Saint Peter's tomb is directly below the altar of the basilica. For this reason, many Popes have been interred at St Peter's since the Early Christian period. There has been a church on this site since the 4th century. Construction of the present basilica, over the old Constantinian basilica, began on April 18, 1506 and was completed on November 18, 1626. Saint Peter's is famous as a place of pilgrimage, for its liturgical functions and for its historical associations. It is associated with the papacy, with the Counter-reformation and with numerous artists, most significantly Michelangelo. As a work of architecture, it is regarded as the greatest building of its age.

  • He Abse E of a Great Encyclopedic Megamuseum Makes Rome An
    Testata: Travel and Leisure Editore: American Express October 1995 Roman Art Holiday 12 museums reveal the city’s eternal charm By Milton Gendel The absence of a great encyclopedic megamuseum makes Rome an oddity among the metropolises of the world. Italy has no equivalent of the Louvre, the British Museum, or the Metropolitan Museum of Art. But then, it hasn’t been out looting the rest of the world since the fall of the Roman Empire (except for the obelisk of Axum - stalled near the Circus Maximus as a trophy of Mussolini’s conquest of Ethiopia). Italy’s great collections are regional, reflecting the country’s political divisions before its unification in the 19th century. Venetian art is concentrated in the Academia of Venice; `Florentine, in the Uffizi. Other important local collections have been transmigratory like the galleries and furnishings of the old Duchy of Parma, which wound up at the Capodimonte Palace in Naples before settling at the Quirinal in Rome. Originally the summer palace of the popes, the Quirinal was taken over by the king of Italy as his royal residence when Rome became the capital of a united Italy in 1870. The papacy, shorn of its temporal power, shrank to the present mini-state of Vatican City, whose museums, galleries and decorations (including the Sistine Chapel and the rooms frescoed by Raphael) make up Rome’s major museological concentration. When the pope retreated from Rome proper, he left behind not only the Quirinal and its contents (now open to the public), but also the Capitoline Museums of sculpture, painting and objects.

Essay Titles 6 5. Reading List 8 6. Tutorial Assignments 11 1 1. INTRODUCTION This module traces the transition from the harmonious cooperation of church and state that characterised Europe in 1000 to the first conflict of empire and papacy in the late eleventh century and the growing estrangement of the ecclesiastical and secular authorities in the following century and a half. The module contrasts the claims of kings and emperors to control the church and the assertion of independence by the papacy and the ecclesiastical hierarchy. The most important topics for discussion are the growth in papal authority, the development of the religious orders, intellectual history and the growing importance of the schools and the emergence of religious dissent and heresy in Europe. Module HI1201 is available as an option to Single Honors, Two-Subject Moderatorship and History and Political Science Junior Freshman students. This module is a compulsory element of the Junior Freshman course in Ancient and Medieval History and Culture. The module may also be taken by Socrates students and Visiting students with the permission of the Department of History.

  • ST. PETER's PRESENCE in ROME: the MONUMENTAL EVIDENCE ALTHOUGH This Essay Is Concerned with the Monumental Evidence for the Connection Between St
    ST. PETER'S PRESENCE IN ROME: THE MONUMENTAL EVIDENCE ALTHOUGH this essay is concerned with the monumental evidence for the connection between St. Peter and the Church in Rome, it is necessary for a complete understanding of the subject to mention the information that we have in the New Testament and in other literary sources about the last years of his life. One thing is certain: there is no evidence of any kind that he ended his life anywhere but in Rome. I. ~VIDENCE FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT In Acts xii. 18 we are told that Peter, after his deliverance from prison, " went to another place ". Many Roman Catholic authors think that the " other place " was Rome. This was the view of Jerome, who states that Peter went to Rome in the second year of Claudius. This date is also about twenty-five years before the traditional date of his death. An early calendar of Roman bishops states that he was Bishop of Rome for twenty-five years.
