The Cambridge History of the Papacy: Volume 2, The Governance of the Church
This volume engages with the centrality of the popes within the Catholic Church and the claim of papal authority as it was exercised through the institution's various governing instruments.Addressing the history of the papacy in the longue durée, it highlights developments and the differences between the first and second millennium of the papacy.The chapters bring nuance to older historiographical models of papal supremacy, focusing on how apostolic primacy was contested and re-negotiated, and how the contours of power relationships shifted between center and periphery.The volume draws attention to questions about papal supremacy across time, place, and transnational lines; the function of law in the exercise of papal authority; the governance of the church in the form of the Curia, synods, and regional and ecumenical councils; the governance of the Papal States; the management of finances and church-state relations; and the relationship between papal temporal and spiritual authority.

Between Constantinople, the Papacy, and the Caliphate : The Melkite Church in the Islamicate World, 634-969
This volume examines the Melkite church from the Arab invasion of Syria in 634 until 969.The Melkite Patriarchates were established in Antioch, Jerusalem and Alexandria and, following the Arab campaigns in Syria and Egypt, they all came under the new Muslim state.Over the next decades the Melkite church underwent a process of gradual marginalization, moving from the privileged position of the state confession to becoming one of the religious minorities of the Caliphate.This transition took place in the context of theological and political interactions with the Byzantine Empire, the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Papacy and, over time, with the reborn Roman Empire in the West.Exploring the various processes within the Melkite church this volume also examines Caliphate–Byzantine interactions, the cultural and religious influences of Constantinople, the synthesis of Greek, Arab and Syriac elements, the process of Arabization of communities, and Melkite relations with distant Rome.

The Papacy and Ecclesiology of Honorius II (1124-1130) : Church Governance after the Concordat of Worms
A complete reappraisal of the papacy of Honorius II, highlighting the strategies to which this pontificate turned in order to govern ecclesiastical institutions and to deal with secular matters. The papacy of Honorius II (1124-1130) has often been overlooked by historians, usually considered uneventful, transitional and colourless.This book offers a complete reappraisal, drawing on a detailed examination of the surviving letters produced by the papal chancery to show that conversely, it was a vital and innovative pontificate.It argues that during what was a stabilising period for the papacy in an era of peace, Honorius and the chancery were able to enact the instruments and ecclesiological claims dictated by external threats and produced during previous papacies.In particular, it shows that by adapting the content and form of the letters it issued, Honorius's chancery, led by the official Haimeric, played a decisive role in extending the ecclesiological thinking of the papacy.Furthermore, these years paved the way for ideas which were further developed later in the twelfth century, especially the arguments created by the warring parties in the Schism of 1130 to legitimise their respective popes.This study thus presents a different view of Honorius' administration, highlighting the strategies to which the papacy turned in order both to govern ecclesiastical institutions and to deal with secular matters, when previous protocols and routines could no longer be relied upon.

What is the relationship between the Merovingians and the papacy?
The relationship between the Merovingians and the papacy was complex and often contentious. The Merovingian kings of the Frankish kingdom sought to assert their authority over the church and its leadership, often appointing bishops and abbots who were loyal to them. However, the papacy resisted these attempts and sought to maintain its independence and authority over the church in the Frankish kingdom. This tension between the Merovingians and the papacy continued throughout the early medieval period, with both sides vying for control and influence over the church.

Does the Vatican or the Catholic Church allow homosexual marriages?
No, the Vatican and the Catholic Church do not allow homosexual marriages. The Church teaches that marriage is a sacrament between a man and a woman, and that homosexual acts are considered to be sinful. The Church's stance on this issue is based on its interpretation of biblical teachings and natural law. While the Church advocates for the dignity and respect of all individuals, it does not recognize or condone same-sex marriages.

If the Catholic Church in Germany were to split, would this so-called German-Catholic Church then elect its own pope?
If the Catholic Church in Germany were to split, it is unlikely that the so-called German-Catholic Church would elect its own pope. The election of a pope is a process that involves the entire Catholic Church, not just a specific region or country. The authority to elect a pope lies with the College of Cardinals, who are chosen from all over the world, not just from one particular country or region. Therefore, even if a split were to occur, the German-Catholic Church would not have the authority to elect its own pope.

Catholic Discordance : Neoconservatism vs. the Field Hospital Church of Pope Francis
2022 Catholic Media Association honorable mention Pope Francis2022 Catholic Media Association honorable mention in English translation editionOne element of the church that Pope Francis was elected to lead in 2013 was an ideology that might be called the “American” model of Catholicism—the troubling result of efforts by intellectuals like Michael Novak, George Weigel, and Richard John Neuhaus to remake Catholicism into both a culture war colossus and a prop for ascendant capitalism. After laying the groundwork during the 1980s and armed with a selective and manipulative reading of Pope John Paul II’s 1991 encyclical Centesimus Annus, these neoconservative commentators established themselves as authoritative Catholic voices throughout the 1990s, viewing every question through a liberal-conservative ecclesial-political lens.The movement morphed further after the 9/11 terror attacks into a startling amalgamation of theocratic convictions, which led to the troubling theo-populism we see today. The election of the Latin American pope represented a mortal threat to all of this, and a poisonous backlash was inevitable, bringing us to the brink of a true “American schism.” This is the drama of today’s Catholic Church.In Catholic Discordance: Neoconservatism vs. the Field Hospital Church of Pope Francis, Massimo Borghesi—who masterfully unveiled the pope’s own intellectual development in his The Mind of Pope Francis—analyzes the origins of today’s Catholic neoconservative movement and its clash with the church that Francis understands as a “field hospital” for a fragmented world.

The Pope's Army : The Papacy in Diplomacy and War
For much of its 2,000-year history, the Roman Catholic Church was a formidable political and military power, in contrast to its pacifist origins and its present concentration on spiritual matters.The period of political and military activism can be dated to roughly between 410, when Pope Innocent I vainly tried to avert the sack of Rome by the Visigoths, and about 1870, when Pope Pius IX was abandoned by his protectors, the French Army, and forced to submit to the new Italian state by surrendering any political power the Vatican had left. During those centuries, the popes employed every means at their disposal, including direct military action, to maintain their domains centred on Rome.Some pontiffs, such as Alexander VI, Julius II (15th century), plus the energetic Borgia popes later, built the Papal States into a power in their own right.In the following century and a half, Europe's destructive religious wars almost always had a papal component, with the Lateran and later Vatican fielding their own armies.Climaxing the story are the little-known yet bitter late-nineteenth century battles between the papal volunteers from all over Europe and America, and the Italian nationalists who ultimately prevailed.John Carr narrates the story of Papal military clout with engaging verve.

The Quiet Revolution of Pope Francis : A Synodal Catholic Church in Ireland?
Pope Francis wants to bring about a quiet revolution within the Catholic Church.He wants a reformed church in which the `sense of the faithful’, the instinct of baptised men and women, is given a role in the formation and reception of church teaching and governance.The model is one of Jesus conversing with his male and female disciples in Palestine – a walking together of the People of God, a `synodal’ church. Irish Jesuit theologian Gerry O’Hanlon examines this ecclesiological project of Francis and the new roles within it of pope and bishops, theologians, and all the baptised.He considers the Pope's strategy of a changed ecclesial structure that would out-live his own pontificate. Francis advocates a critical openness to contemporary culture, a culture of consultation and open debate, and communal discernment practised at every level of `an entirely synodal church'.O’Hanlon argues that this project offers new hope of a better reading of the `signs of the times’ by the Catholic Church, not least in areas of sexuality of gender. The author applies this analysis to our situation in Ireland and suggests that whatever about the desirable spiritual renewal which a papal visit may inspire, it is to be hoped that the more lasting long-term effects might be the realisation of a synodal Irish Catholic Church.

Is there also a head of the Protestant church like the Pope in the Catholic church?
No, there is no single head of the Protestant church like the Pope in the Catholic church. Protestantism is a diverse and decentralized movement with various denominations and independent churches, each with its own leadership structure. While some Protestant denominations may have a central figure or leader, there is no equivalent to the centralized authority of the Pope in the Catholic church.

If the Catholic Church in Germany were to split off, would this, let's call it the German-Catholic Church, then choose its own pope?
If the Catholic Church in Germany were to split off and form its own entity, such as the German-Catholic Church, it is unlikely that they would choose their own pope. The selection of the pope is a tradition deeply rooted in the structure of the Catholic Church, and the authority to elect the pope lies with the College of Cardinals, which is made up of cardinals from around the world. Therefore, even if the German-Catholic Church were to separate, they would likely not have the authority to choose their own pope.
