Paper 309-b | More on John XXII's Franciscan Cardinal (Language: English) Index terms: Ecclesiastical History, Monasticism |
Paper 309-c | Chances of an Illegitimate Person to Reach a Successful Ecclesiastical Career: The Case of Boniface of Pisa (Language: English) |
Abstract | This session will explore different aspects of the pontificate and ecclesiastical government of John XXII: the first paper will examine continuities and differences between the pontificates of Clement V and John XXII, while the second paper will discuss John XXII’s role in English episcopal appointments, particularly the diocese of Winchester. The third paper will then compare the propaganda produced at the curia to the enforcement of John’s policies. The session as a whole will therefore provide new insights into the mechanics of John’s government as well as offering a re-evaluation of his reputation as a pope. |
