Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of discussions between French diplomats in Rome during the 1676 papal conclave which elected Pope Innocent XI. These diplomatic sources provide a granular and often shocking view into the inner workings of the Vatican during a tumultuous time in European history. While the Catholic Church was struggling with internal issues regarding papal authority and infallibility, these letters written to King Louis XIV of France describe the depths of corruption, nepotism, and ambition at the highest levels of the Catholic hierarchy. The cardinals are portrayed not as holy men focused on spiritual matters, but rather as political operators entangled in a complex web of alliances and motivations. This book is an important resource for those interested in church history due to its vivid and unvarnished account of a pivotal period in the life of the Catholic Church.
