1676 Papal Conclave Gregorio Leti Catholic Church Holy See vs Court of Rome

1676 Papal Conclave Gregorio Leti Catholic Church Holy See vs Court of Rome

Gregorio Leti was a notable 17^th-century Italian historian who is known for having each of his published works placed on the ‘Prohibited Books Index’. These works were mostly a satirical approach to the Catholic Church and Catholic traditions. Even though Leti was called ‘inexact’ by the Catholic Encyclopedia and ‘inaccurate’ by the Lutheran church, his historical importance and relevance is well – known and unprecedented. (Mosheim, 194).

In this book, ‘L’idée du Conclave Present’, Leti makes a distinction between the Holy See and the Court of Rome – a distinction which had not been made prior to Leti.
