Cardinal Giovanni Morone (1509-80) remains one of the most
intriguing characters in the history of the sixteenth century
Catholic Church - with neither his contemporaries nor subsequent
scholars being able to agree on his motivations, theology or his
legacy. Appointed Bishop of Modena in 1529 and created Cardinal in
1542 by Pope Paul III, his glittering career appeared to be in
ruins following his arrest in 1557 on charges of heresy. Yet,
despite spending more than two years imprisoned in Castel Sant'
Angelo, he managed to resurrect his career and in 1563 was
appointed principal legate to the Council of Trent, whereupon he
resolved the difficulties besetting the council, which had brought
it to a virtual standstill, and guided it to a successful
conclusion. Concentrating largely - but by no means exclusively -
upon the period of the pontificate of Pius IV (1559-65) and an
evaluation of Morone's role as presiding legate at the Council of
Trent, this book tackles a number of issues that have exercised
scholars. How does Morone's activity at Trent in 1563 now look in
the light of the information available in connection with his
processo? What was the result of the wider activity of Morone and
the spirituali during Pius' pontificate? How did Morone's career
progress after Trent, with regards his actions as a diocesan in the
immediate post-conciliar situation and his renewed difficulties in
the pontificate of Pius V? Through a re-reading of important
archival material and a re-examination of the wealth of recently
published primary sources, this study revisits these key questions,
and analyses the fluctuating fortunes of Morone's career as bishop,
diplomat, heretic and cardinal legate.
