Pope Paul
The significance of Pope Paul IV?
I’m answering questions about Pope Paul IV, but the only things I can find are long biographies of his life and work, but all I need to know is sgnificant facts/background and how he changed history. I’m not necessarily asking for answers, but if anyone could point me in the right direction or provide a link, that would be great. Help please?
Paul IV introduced the Index Librorum Prohibitorum or “Index of Prohibited Books” to Venice, then an independent and prosperous trading state, in order to crack down on the growing threat of Protestanism and the newly introduced printing press. Under his authority, all books written by Protestants were banned, together with Italian and German translations of the Latin Bible.
As was usual with Renaissance popes, Paul IV sought to advance the fortunes of his family as well as that of the papacy. As Cardinal-nephew, Carlo Carafa became his uncle’s chief adviser and the prime mover in their plans to ally with the French to expel the Spanish from Italy. Carlo’s older brother Giovanni was made commander of the papal forces and Duke of Paliano after the pro-Spanish Colonna were deprived of that town in 1556. Another nephew, Antonio, was given command of the Papal guard and made Marquis of Montebello. Their conduct became notorious in Rome. However at the conclusion of the disastrous war with Philip II of Spain and after many scandals, in 1559 the Pope publicly disgraced his nephews and banished them from Rome.
He was buried in St. Peter’s Basilica but was later transferred to Santa Maria sopra Minerva. His tomb at the Minerva, by Pirro Ligorio, is dated 1559. It stand in the chapel created by his kinsman Cardinal Oliviero Carafa.

Palestrina: Missa Papae Marcelli, Missa Aeterna $5.48 There’s a wonderful legend, retold by (among others) Pfitzner’s opera Palestrina, attached to the “Pope Marcellus” Mass: the Council of Trent, ground zero of the Counter Reformation, was about to ban all music but chant from the liturgy when Palestrina submitted this Mass, thereby changing the prelates’ minds and saving church music. The writing is beautiful enough to deserve such a story: cheerf… |
