Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Manual of Church History, Vol. 2 of 2 The mainspring of that great ecclesiastical machinery which we call the Papal system of the Middle Ages was, from 1059 onwards, the College of Cardinals. The term cardinal originally meant a fixed occupier of an ecclesiastical office; but it had assumed a peculiar significance at Rome, possibly in view of this See´s established claim to be the "cardo et caput Ecclesioe." The Cardinal-bishops were the seven Bishops of the Pope´s immediate province - those of Ostia, Porto, Albano, S. Rufina, Frascati, Palestrina, and La Sabina. The Cardinal-priests were the incumbents of the twenty-eight chief Roman churches. It was in the pontificate of Nicholas II. that the Lateran Council of 1059 vested all future Papal elections in the College of Cardinals. The minority of the Emperor (Henry IV.) had invalidated the imperial prerogative, and on the death of Stephen IX. the nobles of the Campagna had invaded Rome, plundered St. Peter´s, and elected Benedict X. (1058), one of the house of the famous Consul Crescentius. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
