Ireland’s Empire
Colin Barr states that his work is going to show the first Irish Cardinal, Paul Cullen, at the helm of a Hiberno-Roman empire and that his book’s use of an unparalleled 104 archives will be used to this end. He claims that seven areas of the globe bear an unmistakable ‘Cullenite’ imprint on a local Catholic Church that was as much Irish as it was Roman, though surprisingly immune from local settings. To accomplish this, he charts Irish appointmen…
Profaning the Sacred
This article reveals for the first time how Catholic clerics survived financially during the Napoleonic period in Italy (1796–1814). Despite the very rich, 200-year historiography on one of the Church's most critical periods, there is almost nothing on how religious clerics coped at this time. Their institutions had been despoiled by the French, often in collaboration with locals, negating traditional forms of clerical income, such as alms or ren…
A house divided
Church-owned lands throughout Europe were confiscated by the French over more than two decades between 1790 and 1814. This action, which became a French financial policy during this period, has been much discussed. We know about the processes undertaken for the transaction of such large-scale sell-offs; we are also familiar with the types of buyers involved in a given region; and we understand the economic results of these sales. However, we have…
The Fight for Inheritances in the Papal States during the Restoration, 1814–1830
This article looks at a common societal feature – the inheritance – examining how it became a prized source of income following the French Revolution and, therefore, a divisive element. The Restoration in the Papal States (1814–30) produced unexpected legal battles over the right of inheritances; family members as well as the monasteries of ex-religious, secularised during the Napoleonic period in Italy, contested the beneficiary status of wills.…
Financial policies in the Papal States, 1790s–1848
This article discusses the financial policies of the Papal States from the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century in relation to the rest of Europe, and especially Italy. Its crucial starting point is the Napoleonic economic reforms, which had important and often lasting effects throughout its former empire. French reliance on debt reduction and heavy though equitable taxation improved the financial conditions of most European lands even a…
Pope Gregory XVI's Chocolate Enterprise
Chocolate has early associations in the West with Spanish Catholic missionaries to America. From the middle of the sixteenth century, chocolate was employed in many useful ways, including economic capacities. However, till now, there have been no associations with the liquid drink and financial survival during and after periods of war or revolution. Yet during the Napoleonic years (1798-1814), chocolate was employed to support certain impoverishe…
Il Trionfo? The Untold Story of Its Development and Pope Gregory XVI's Struggle to Attain Orthodoxy
For all of the criticism that Pope Gregory XVI (1831–1846) has attracted in the historiography for his severe, backward-thinking papal policies, such as condemning freedoms of speech and the press ( Mirari vos ; 1832) or his refusal to grant the construction of railroads, his reputation as a gifted theologian has remained untainted. Owen Chadwick called him “the best educated pope for nearly three-quarters of a century.” At the bottom of this ass…
The Prodigal Son
This article deals with the evolving attitude of Mauro Cappellari (later Pope Gregory XVI) towards the extraordinary case of a capricious priest, Calogerá Biondi, caught up in an illicit marital affair in Constantinople. Given the fragile state of the Armenian Catholic Church in the Ottoman Empire in the 1820s, and the potential firestorm that could be set off if the couple's story came to light, Cappellari lobbied the Curia to release Biondi fro…
Private Partners
Russia played a key role in easing the plight of the Armenian Catholic Church in the late 1820s. However, its close cooperation with Rome at this time has been overshadowed by the efforts of Austria and France in securing legal recognition for the Armenian Catholic Church in the Ottoman empire, and has been overlooked by the deeply entrenched historiography which portrays Russia in an almost exclusively negative light. This essay reveals how and …
