'History of the Papacy from the Great Schism to the Sack of Rome, Volume I' Summary
Creighton's first volume focuses on the Great Schism, a period of significant upheaval within the Catholic Church. The book begins with the tumultuous reign of Pope Urban VI and the emergence of two anti-popes, Clement VII and Benedict XIII. The author meticulously chronicles the attempts to reconcile these competing claims to the papacy, highlighting the efforts of the University of Paris and the involvement of various European monarchs, including the French king and the Holy Roman Emperor Wenzel. Creighton details the intrigue and political maneuvering that characterized this period, ultimately culminating in the deposition of Pope John XXIII by the Council of Constance. This volume paints a vivid picture of a complex historical period marked by religious conflict, political machinations, and the struggle to restore unity to the Church.Book Details
