Valor of Pope Nicholas IV. HISTORY OF WARWICKsmTIE. 51 quired to pay the amount of his first year's incumbency into a fund, and every succeeding year one-tenth. These first fruits and tenths were collected at their full value and applied to the use of the Pope as early as the time of Pope Nicholas IV., 1200; for this pmpose a valuation was made of all the ecclesiastical livings in England, which is still pres€l'ved in the Rebrancer's office, and designated " Valor of Pope Nicholas IV." At the time of the Refol'mation Henry VIII. passed a law, ·with the sanction of Parliament, declaring that the first fruits and tenths should be appropriated to the use of the State; and he caused an accmate and full valuation to be made of the ecclesiastical livings, which were accordingly paid into the exchequer till the reign of Queen Anne, with the exception of a short period in the reign of Philip and Mary. Queen Anne, de­ ploring the wTetched condition in which many of the clergy were placed, owing to the insufficiency of their livings, came to the deter­ mination that the first fruits and tenths should be paid into a fund called" Queen Anne's Bounty," and that the amOlmt should be appropriated to the livings of the poor clergy. No fresh valuation was made since 1535, and registered in what is called the King's Book, till that made by mder of the commission, in 1835, on which the payments are now regulated. That the payment might not operate oppressively, the first year's income was to be paid by four annual instalments, and all livings of small value were entirely exempt, and hence called "discharged livings." During the time of Popery a large portion of the tithes had been alienated from the parishes for the endowment of religious houses, or for chantreys, to say masses for the dead, &c. The governors of Queen Anne's Bounty, some­ times aided by private benefactions, and at others by parliamentary grants for the endowment of churches, have been enabled greatly to • augment many of the poorest livings, and now the resources at the command of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, by various reductions in cathedral and collegiate churches, have in a measure caused the church livings to be considerably equalised. Great exertions have and are being made on the voluntary prin­ ciple to render the Church of England adequate to the spiritual wants of the people. The Queen Anne's Bounty Fund has done much. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners, from the great changes.

  • A BRIEF HISTORY of the PAPACY by John Judy (Written Mid-April
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PAPACY By John Judy (Written mid-April 2005 for “Big News.”) MICHAEL Any day now the College of Cardinals will be choosing a new Pope. White smoke will billow out into Saint Peter's Square signaling that the Holy Mother Church has discovered fire. I'm kidding. The Catholic Church has long since acknowledged the existence of fire and has used it on more than a few occasions. If you don't believe me, ask a heretic. If you can find one! (Did I mention John Paul II once issued a formal apology to Prometheus? True story...) In any case, we Big News Catholics don't want the rest of you sinners to spend the next week in complete ignorance of our glorious heritage and the intricate, infallible goings- on of our higher-ups. With that in mind we now present a brief history of the papacy, or, as we call it: "The Vatican Highlight Reel!" MATT There have been 265 Popes since Jesus chose Saint Peter to be the rock on which he founded his church in 32 A.D. SAINT PETER Numero Uno, baby! Pearly gates in the house! MATT According to Catholic tradition, Peter brought Christianity to Rome although it was there well before Peter arrived. SAINT PETER We were in previews out of town, man. MATT And once he was in Rome, Peter didn't serve as any kind of bishop or leader. SAINT PETER It was casual. Why you doggin' me, Boo? MATT Saint Sixtus, the seventh Pope, was the first Pope known to be the son of a Priest.

It observes the development of the cult as part of the renovations of the church during the pontificate of Nicholas IV and the patronage of the Colonna family. It argues that it happened during the process of Franciscanization of the church and making the ideological axis between the Roman basilica and new papal basilica in Assisi, stressed also in their pictorial decorations – the mosaics in the apse in Rome, and the Life of Saint Francis in Assisi. It also studies the construction of Jerome’s Roman identity in correlation with the confirmation of Santa Maria Maggiore church as a “second Bethlehem” after the fall of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, reflecting upon the leading proponents of the idea, architectural setting, artistic production and hagiographical texts produced to uphold this idea. *Ines Ivić, PhD Candidate, Central European University (CEU), Department of Medieval Studies, Nádor utca 9, H-1051 Budapest, e-mail: [email protected].

  • 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.

  • Santa Maria Maggiore St Mary Major
    Santa Maria Maggiore St Mary Major Piazza di Santa Maria Maggiore Santa Maria Maggiore is a 5th century papal basilica, located in the rione Monti. and is notable for its extensive Early Christian mosaics. The basilica is built on the summit of the Esquiline hill, which was once a commanding position. (1) (i)! History Ancient times The church is on the ancient Cispius, the main summit of the Esquiline Hill, which in ancient times was not a heavily built-up area. Near the site had been a Roman temple dedicated to a goddess of childbirth, Juno Lucina, much frequented by women in late pregnancy. Archaeological investigations under the basilica between 1966 and 1971 revealed a 1st century building, it seems to have belonged to a villa complex of the Neratii family. (1) (k) Liberian Basilica - Foundation legend - Civil war According to the Liber Pontificalis, this first church (the so-called Basilica Liberiana or "Liberian Basilica") was founded in the August 5, 358 by Pope Liberius. According to the legend that dates from 1288 A.D., the work was financed by a Roman patrician John, and his wife. They were childless, and so had decided to leave their fortune to the Blessed Virgin. She appeared to them in a dream, and to Pope Liberius, and told them to build a church in her honor on a site outlined by a miraculous snowfall, which occurred in August (traditionally in 358). Such a patch of snow was found on the summit of the Esquiline the following morning. The pope traced the outline of the church with his stick in the snow, and so the church was built.

  • 21. Answers to the Most Common Objections Against Sedevacantism
    298 21. Answers to the Most Common Objections Against Sedevacantism Pope Vigilius, Second Council of Constantinople, 553: “… we bear in mind what was promised about the holy Church and Him who said the gates of Hell will not prevail against it (by these we understand the death-dealing tongues of heretics)…”1 There are many objections launched against the sedevacantist position – that is, the position expounded in this book according to which the Chair of St. Peter is vacant because the post- Vatican II “popes” are not true popes, but non-Catholic antipopes. We will now address all of the major objections that are launched against this position. Objection 1): The Gates of Hell cannot prevail against the Church, as Christ said (Matthew 16). He said He would be with His Church all days until the end of the world (Matthew 28). What you are saying is contrary to the promises of Christ. Answer: No, indefectibility (the promise of Christ to always be with His Church, and that the gates of Hell will not prevail against it) means that the Church will, until the end of time, remain essentially what she is. The indefectibility of the Church requires that at least a remnant of the Church will exist until the end of the world, and that a true pope will never authoritatively teach error to the entire Church. It does not exclude antipopes posing as popes (as we’ve had numerous times in the past, even in Rome) or a counterfeit sect that reduces the adherents of the true Catholic Church to a remnant in the last days.

  • History of the Rules of the Secular Franciscan Order
    History of the Rules of the Secular Franciscan Order 1221: Francis writes a letter that becomes the basic Rule (Memoriale Propositi) of the Third Order, a Franciscan Order for lay men, lay women and diocesan clergy. In the same year, Pope Honorius III writes to the Bishop of Rimini, urging him to protect the “Penitents” who are being forced to take up arms 1228: A revised version of the Letter of 1221 (To the Faithful) gives some of the precise rules required by the Church [for example, + simplicity of dress + eat meat on only three days of the week + fast every Friday + take Holy Communion three times a year + pay their tithes fully (outstanding debts or overdue tithes) + not bear arms or take up arms against anyone (some historians believe the refusal to bear arms helped bring an end to the Crusades; little wonder there was no great love for the “Penitents” among the powerful) + guide their families in living a Christian life + reconcile with neighbors (with whom they quarreled) + be free of all suspicion of heresy + take oaths only – to preserve peace, keep faith, refute slander or give evidence in court + attend Mass together once a month + pay their monthly contribution (used for the needs of the sick and needy) + attend funerals + visit the sick + offer prayers for all + make out their will within three months of profession + and settle legal disputes among themselves]; in addition, a woman needs the consent of her husband before entering the Movement 1238: Pope Gregory IX mentions the three Orders founded by St.

  • Diplomatic Communication Between the Popes and the Khan Until 1270S Mamoru FUJISAKI*
    The 10th Japanese-Korean Symposium on Medieval History of Europe (2019) Diplomatic Communication between the popes and the Khan until 1270s Mamoru FUJISAKI* 1. Three phases of papal-Mongol relations Salimbene of Parma (1221-ca. 1290), a Franciscan chronicler, tells us in his chronicle about the invasion of the Tartars. For Salimbene, it was the fifth and last invasion into Italy of various ethnic groups after those of the Vandals, Huns, Goths, and Langobards. It is true that the Mongols did not reach the peninsula of Italy, but they came as far as the Adriatic Sea, so fear of the Tartars would have penetrated deep into Italy. Salimbene points out three events in papal- Mongol relations. The first is rumors of the Tartars at the time of the pontificate of Gregory IX (ca. 1240), the second, the dispatch of John of Plano Carpini by Pope Innocent IV (1245), and the third, the mission of Gerard and his Franciscan colleagues (1278).1 This perception of Salimbene about the papal-Mongol relations is remarkable. Each of the three events represents three phases of the papal reaction in the face of the Mongols: the rumors, the diplomatic policy, and the religious mission. The Mongol invasion to Europe occurred in the 1240s. The Mongol army under the command of Batu, son of Jochi and grandson of Chinggis Khan, approached Eastern Europe after conquering certain Russian principalities, including the Principality of Kiev. The Mongol army split into two, one part of it invading eastern Poland at the end of 1240. This army defeated the allied forces of the Poles and the Germans led by Henry II the Pious, Duke of Silesia, at the Battle of Liegnitz in April 1241 and then joined Batu’s other army in Hungary.

The object of this thesis is to understand the nature of these power struggles and to demonstrate that the medieval Church functioned in many ways like a prototype IGO. In order to do this, an analogy will be drawn between the medieval Church and modern international governmental organizations, specifically the United Nations. The nature of the power of these two entities, and the struggles in application of their power, are similar in many ways. The goal of this project is to make church-state conflict, as well as the major figures in these episodes, more accessible.
