Baumgartner (read 3 Sep 2013) This 2003 book gives a succinct account of the selection of every Pope, with particular attention to the elections since 1059, when the election of the Pope was entrusted exclusively to the Cardinals..Only in 1417 were some non-cardinals permitted to help elect the Pope. Some very unedifying events are related in the book, but the author makes no attempt to whitewash them. The account tells just enough about events to set the stage for each papal election, and I found it exceptionally well-done and full of interest. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Literaturhinweise zu diesem Werk aus externen Quellen. Wikipedia auf Englisch (25)Since 1600, whenever a Pope dies, the Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church convene in Rome to elect a successor. The Papal Conclave is an event like no other. Highly secret and conducted behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, it happens about eight times every century. It is an event that has evolved over the centuries and is always filled with high drama: cardinals meeting en masse in their scarlet robes, throngs of the faithful standing watch in St. Peter's Square, the black or white smoke billowing from the chimney signalling the election of a new Pontiff Since secrecy was not heavily invoked until the twentieth century, there is a vast store of rich material to work from and Fred Baumgartner uses it to its utmost detailing the bickering and blatant politicking that goes on behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel in this important and timely book.
