Book Description
"Three popes have died in less than a year. Foul play has not been eliminated and is suspected by many. But before the Vatican can deal with these suspicions, there's something else to take care of--a new pope must be elected. After seventy-seven excruciating days of deliberation, the conclave of cardinals finally reaches its decision--and it's a shocker. Fro the first time in 1,000 years, a layman, from the US, will lead the Church. Before the white smoke clears the Sistine Chapel, it is obvious the papacy, and the world, will never be the same. The new pope, James I, shatter long-held positions and the accepted image of the Bishop of Rome. Not everyone is happy. Cardinal Manoles Sicoli, a fundamental doctrinaire who has long had his eyes on the papacy, fears James is the Antichrist. And he will stop at nothing to end James' reign."--Page 4 of cover.

Conclave 1559
Author: Mary Hollingsworth
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 180024472X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
Intrigue, double-dealing and conspiracy in the Eternal City. 'A fascinating narrative of the intermingling of secular and religious power' New Statesman 'A highly enjoyable and thrilling read... Hollingsworth has peeled back the veil of secrecy surrounding papal conclaves' History Today 'Full of lively detail and colour' Literary Review August 1559. As the long hot Italian summer draws to its close, so does the life of a rigidly orthodox and profoundly unpopular pope. The papacy of Paul IV has seen the establishing of the Roman Inquisition and the Index of Prohibited Books, an unbending refusal to open dialogue with Protestants, and the ghettoization of Rome's Jews. On 5 September 1559, as the great doors of the Vatican's Sala Regia are ceremonially locked, the future of the Catholic Church hangs in the balance. Mary Hollingsworth offers a compelling and sedulously crafted reconstruction of the longest and most taxing of sixteenth-century papal elections. Its crisscrossing fault lines divided not only moderates from conservatives, but also the adherents of three national 'factions' with mutually incompatible interests. France and Spain were both looking to extend their power in Italy and beyond and had very different ideas of who the new pope should be – as did the Italian cardinals. Drawing on the detailed account books left by Ippolito d'Este, one of the participating cardinals, Conclave 1559 provides remarkable insights into the daily lives and concerns of the forty-seven men locked up for some four months in the Vatican.

Pages : 36
Book Description
The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita is a document, originally published in Italian in the 19th century, purportedly produced by the highest lodge of the Italian Carbonari and written by "Piccolo Tigre," codename for Giuseppe Mazzini. The document details an alleged Masonic plan to infiltrate the Catholic Church and spread liberal ideas within it. The Carbonari had strong similarities to Freemasonry and so the document is seen by some as a Masonic document. In the 19th century, Pope Pius IX[3] and Pope Leo XIII both asked for it to be published.
