The author of this 1930 volume maintains that the first two and a
half years of the pontificate of Pius IV, during which the
continuation of the Council of Trent and the maintenance of its
earlier decrees were secured against strong French and German
opposition, constituted the critical period which finally
determined the ultimate orientation of the Counter-Reformation.
This thesis is worked out in detail in regard to the French efforts
to prevent the continuation of the Tridentine Council and to force
the Counter-Reformation into different channels from those desired
by Rome, efforts which were largely inspired by the Cardinal of
Lorraine around whom the narrative is hung. In addition, an attempt
is made to appreciate the Cardinal's personality and to understand
his ecclesiastical standpoint.
