Catholic Church. Apostolic Nunciature (France)

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6f24xp6 (corporateBody)

A permanent nunciature was established in 1514 by Leo X, following earlier legations. Conflict between the popes and Louis XIV left the post vacant or filled on an interim basis for most of the period from 1671 to 1690. The nuncio left France in 1791 after anticlerical legislation was passed. The office was then abolished. Several special envoys were sent to France during the revolutionary and Napoleonic eras, including a legate a latere who served from 1801 to 1810. The permanent n...

Catholic Church. Apostolic Nunciature (Spain)

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w68m384r (corporateBody)

Sources differ as to when the office of the papal representatives in Spain became a permanent nunciature, with the dates 1484, 1492, and 1506 being mentioned. During the reign of Emperor Charles V (1519-1558) the affairs of the nuncios to Spain and to the Holy Roman Empire were intermingled. For most of the period from 1522 to 1544 the nuncio to Spain also served as nuncio to the empire. During the period from 1709 to 1720, which corresponded to the latter part of the War of the Spa...

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6m104ds (corporateBody)

From the earliest days of the Church judicial problems and reserved cases were referred to Rome for solution. By the end of the twelfth century this continual and ever-increasing flood of requests became too burdensome for the Consistory of Cardinals. The popes, therefore, began to refer cases to members of the papal household who were called cappellani papae. This group, which was dependent on the Apostolic Chancery (ID VATV032-A), seems to be the antecedent, if not the origin of t...

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6z66mzv (corporateBody)

This congregation derives its title from the Consistory, or College of Cardinals, since its chief duty has been to prepare matters, by examination and discussion, for the Consistory. Among the congregations founded by the constitution Immensa aeterni Dei (22 Jan 1588), Sixtus V gave third place to the Congregatio pro Erectione Ecclesiarum et Provisionibus Consistorialibus. The congregation was charged with preparing the acts regarding decisions for the formal approval of...

The ancient Milanese house of the Confalonieri had the privilege of accompanying the archbishops of Milan on their entrance into the city for their installation. There were many branches including the counts of Agliate and the counts of Colnago as well as feudal lords of other territories. The line that was registered with the Roman nobility was, however, that of Piacenza. Giovanni Battista began his career as a canon in Velletri in the service of Cardinal Gesualdo, bish...

Catholic Church. Congregatio Sacrorum Rituum

This congregation was established by Sixtus V as the Congregatio pro Sacris Ritibus et Caeremoniis (constitution Immensa aeterni Dei, Jan. 22, 1588). According to some authors, it absorbed a cardinalatial commission formed by Gregory XIII, as early as 1572, to reform the ceremonies of the papal chapel. Although the principal task of the new congregation was to attend to the moderation of the Latin liturgy "in all the churches of Rome and throughout the world," the bulk of its work w...

During the reign of Gregory XIII (1572-1585) the duties of the nuncio to the Holy Roman Empire were expanded to include overseeing the implementation of the decrees of the Council of Trent in the empire. Several new nunciatures were established to assist in carrying out this task. The nunciature for Cologne was established in 1573, with responsibility for dioceses in the northwestern part of the empire, particularly in the Rhineland. The nunciature was vacant from 1578 to 1584. In 1...

The Congregation of the Holy Office was, until 1908, called the Congregatio Romanae et Universalis Inquisitionis seu Sancti Officii. The primary function of this congregation was to assist the pope in his task of preserving the integrity of the church doctrine on faith and morals, although the manner of operation has varied over the centuries. The earliest traces of the Church's concern for preserving this integrity can be found in Lucius III's constitution Ad abolendam ...
