This book offers a unique overview on the career and work on
Benedict XII, the third pope of Avignon. Benedict XII (ca.
1334-1342) was a key figure of the Avignon papal court, renowned
for rooting out heretics and distinguishing himself as a refined
theologian. During his reign, he faced the most significant
religious and political challenges in the era of the Avignon
papacy: theological quarrels, divisions and schisms within the
Church, conflicts between European sovereigns, and the growth of
Turkish power in the East. In spite of its diminished political
influence, the papacy, which had recently moved to France, emerged
as an institution committed to the defense and expansion of the
Catholic faith in Europe and the East. Benedict made significant
contributions to the definition of doctrine, the assessment of
pontifical power in Western Europe, and the expansion of
Catholicism in the East: in all these different contexts he
distinguished himself as a true guardian of orthodoxy.
