About this listen

Immerse yourself in Leopold von Rankes groundbreaking exploration of the 16th-century papacy, a pivotal era in Catholic history. As a pioneering German Lutheran historian, Ranke meticulously chronicles the reigns of influential popes. Witness Pope Clement VIIs fateful French alliance that leads to the dramatic sack of Rome, and delve into Pope Paul IIIs ambitions for his grandsons, only to face betrayal. Experience the fervor of Gian Pietro Carafa, who becomes Pope Paul IV, as he navigates alliances with Protestants and even the Turks in his fierce opposition to Spain. Ranke, who famously coined the term Counter-Reformation, also captures the profound impact of Ignatius Loyola and the Jesuit movements efforts to reclaim Protestant territories for the Catholic Church. Join us for a captivating journey through this tumultuous chapter of religious history. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)
