 Venice: The Methodology of Evil, Part II
Contarini's beliefs are anti-Christian because without love or charity man is reduced to a creature whose sensual gratification becomes the central purpose of his existence and whose reason, or as Contarini says, intellect, plays no role.
Contarini had made use of Charles's own confessor, who had informed him that the emperor had ``an inability to forgive injuries readily.'' For Venice, this trait was dangerous, especially since the Venetians were known to knife one in the back--and then ask forgiveness.
Contarini's job as ambassador was to use his ``skill and pleasant manners'' to keep the pope focused on Charles V as the cause of all his sufferings, and to keep the papal cities in the possession of Venice.

Contarini would have us believe that he was contemplating becoming a monk himself, but concluded that even a monastic life of asceticism and good works would never be enough to atone for his sins.
The Contarini commission at the outset sought to identify the cause of the evils and abuses of the church, including simony, multiple benefices, bishops who did not live in their sees, moral failures, sybaritic lifestyles among prelates, and the like.
In 1541, Contarini was the papal representative along with Morone at the discussions among Catholics and Protestants in Regensburg, where he proposed a compromise solution on the key issue of justification; on the one hand recognizing a justitia imputata to satisfy the Lutherans, while retaining some role for the justitia inhaerens.

Contarini and the other members of the spirituali met with increasing difficulty as their calls for doctrinal reform were rejected, as at the Council of Trent and their articles on justification.
This theory holds that Paul III knew that Regensburg would ultimately prove to be a failure and by naming Contarini as papal legate to the colloquy he could both discredit Contarini and his movement as well as gain some provincial favor from the Emperor.
Contarini and the spirituali no doubt held to the institutional reforms promoted in this document as their last hope of progress once their theological commitments were rejected.

 Biography of Pope Paul III   (Site not responding. Last check: )
It was Contarini who led to the stating of a definition in connection with the article of justification in which occurs the famous formula "by faith alone are we justified," with which was combined, however, the Roman Catholic doctrine of good works.
At Rome, this definition was rejected in the consistory of May 27, and Luther declared that he could accept it only provided the opposers would admit that hitherto they had taught differently from what was meant in the present instance.
All that could henceforth be expected of the pope was that he would cooperate in the violent suppression of "heretics" in Germany, as he had done in Italy, by creating for their annihilation the arm of the revived Inquisition.

Melanchthon, like Bucer and Calvin, considered Contarini's and Gropper's agreement regarding imputation to be a concession which they were entitled to interpret in a way which did not fundamentally threaten the Augsburg Confession's (Article 4) teaching that sinners are justified by the imputation of Christ's extrinsic righteousness.

Through the services of a certain Gasparo Contarini as the guiding hand behind the Council of Trend that paved the way for Contarini's appointment to negotiate with the Lutherans at Regensburg, the Venetians were able to infiltrate and indirectly set up and control the Reformation that was meant to revitalize Christianity.
The man was so slick, that even while executed the war on the Reformation through the official channels of the reform commission for the Council of Trent, the so-called Counter-Reformation, he managed somehow to declare his Lutheran beliefs and have them accepted by the Lutherans to such a degree that doors were opened for him.
Gasparo Contarini and a certain Paolo Sapri were key players in this destruction.
