The sacred college of cardinals -- Appendix D. Universi dominici gregis. Abstract: In this book author Greg Tobin offers a guide to the election of the new Pope. Every rule of this secretive process receives close scrutiny, as does the rich history behind the conclave and the key issues that will shape the future of the Catholic Church at a time when it is in crisis, in the U.S. and abroad. Topics discussed are why the election always concludes with the rising of white smoke; what powers the Cardinals hold during the vacancy of the holy See; and what changes Pope John Paul II made to the centuries-old procedures. This book examines some of the more than 200 holy men and scoundrels, geniuses and mediocrities who have held the position of Pope, and then looks forward to possible successors to Pope John Paul II. In addition, there's a day-by-day account of the balloting inside the Sistine Chapel.

6 v. (Päpste und Papsttum, Bd. 29). Description: Hiersemann Verlag. Hardcover. Book Condition: Neu. Genealogien zur
Papstgeschichte (Hiersemann, A) ISBN: 978-3-7772-9914-3 Genealogien zur Papstgeschichte Bearbeitet von Becker, Michael / Weber,
Christoph Verlag : Hiersemann. In diesem sechsbändigen Werk werden auf insgesamt 3000 Seiten fast 650 Stammtafeln von Familien geboten,
aus denen im Zeitraum zwischen 1394 und 1922 die meisten Päpste, viele hundert Kardinäle und zahlreiche Bischöfe und
Prälaten der römischen Kurie hervorgegangen sind. Aus der politischen, Kirchen- und Kulturgeschichte Europas sind diese
Familien nicht wegzudenken. Bislang hatte die Forschung nur partielle Einblicke aus sehr alten und kaum greifbaren Werken, und zu
vielen Papstfamilien gab es keinerlei genealogische Hintergrundinformation. Basis des hier vorliegenden Werkes waren die
handschriftlichen Tafelsammlungen in fast sechzig italienischen Bibliotheken, Archiven und Privatkollektionen sowie die systematische
Auswertung einer sehr unübersichtlichen und oft seltenen adligen Spezialliteratur. Es tritt aber auch in Teil V und VI eine
Sammlung von ca. 50 spanischen und portugiesischen Kardinalsfamilien hinzu, die es ermöglicht, die Struktur der Beziehungen zwischen
dem Papsttum und den auch Italien beherrschenden habsburgisch-spanischen Weltreichen von der Seite des Führungspersonals her
kennenzulernen. Das Werk wird nicht nur für den Papst- und Kirchenhistoriker unentbehrlich sein, sondern auch alle Leser
interessieren, die sich mit der Sozialgeschichte, der Staatengeschichte Italiens, der Geschichte der diplomatischen Beziehungen, der
Kunstgeschichte der Renaissance und des Barock (also z.B. mit den Familien bekannter Mäzene), mit der Geschichte von Palästen,
Sammlungen und Bibliotheken, aber auch mit der Geschichte frühneuzeitlicher Amtsträger und Behörden sowie nicht zuletzt
mit der Geschichte der Familienstruktur, des Zölibates und verwandten Themen beschäftigen. Aus einer FAZ-Rezension: "Das Lebenswerk des Düsseldorfer Historikers besteht in nicht weniger als der totalen soziologischen und strukturellen Durchdringung der kurialen.Führungsschicht Italiens. Kern seiner Methode ist die in der aktuellen historischen Forschung wenig geschätzte klassische Genealogie. Niemand, auch in Italien nicht, kennt die Reproduktionsweisen, die Verflechtungen und die Dynamik des adlig-patrizischen Familienverbandes so genau wie Christoph Weber.
