Topic: Papal curia

	e. The Papacy and Italy. 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History
		Petrarch's career in the service of Clement VI provoked Italian resentment of the French dominance at the papal curia and hostility toward the fiscal and moral vices of the city and court.
		The lords of the Papal States resumed control and were, for all intents and purposes, independent of papal authority.
		The loss of Italian revenues forced the popes to be more exacting in the levying of their spiritual income; thus the centralization of the papal curia put many clerical appointments under direct papal control through an extension of the papal rights of provision (appointment to benefices).

	Roman Curia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Roman Curia is the complex of the organs and the authorities that constitute the administrative apparatus of the Holy See, coordinating and providing the necessary organisation for the correct functioning of the Roman Catholic Church and the achievement of its goals.
		Curia in medieval and later Latin usage means "court" in the sense of "royal court" rather than "court of law" (though those two meanings are related in history).
		In this sense, the Roman Curia has grown little by little in the history of Catholic Church, its importance reaching an apogee during the later times of Papacy's temporal power, de facto ended in 19th century (with the unification of Italy) and later formally too concluded in 1929 with the Lateran Treaties, or Concordato.

	Popes
		The papal election of 1159, in which the majority of the cardinals chose Bandinelli as pope under the name Alexander III, witnessed a strong effort on the part of Frederick to secure the election of a candidate favourable to his policies.
		Papal relations with the empire in the 12th century revolved around the problems, both theoretical and practical, created by two autonomous powers--one spiritual, the other temporal--vying for authority in the lives of men.
		It was this policy that was ultimately to prevail and to lay the foundation for the policies followed by the papal Curia in the 13th century.

	Annates
		One result of the centralizing of ecclesiastical administration in the Roman Curia during the course of the thirteenth century was that ecclesiastical benefices became more and more generally "collated," i.e.
		On such occasions the papal treasury received from the new incumbent a certain tax derived from the income of the living.
		Among the payments made to the Roman Curia in the fifteenth century under the general term of annates, the oldest are the servitia communia and the servitia minuta.

	The exercise of the primacy: facing the cost of Christian unity. (Archbishop John R. Quinn speech)(Cover ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Rather, the curia is in the front ranks of that perennial reform of which the Church itself, as a human and earthly institution, stands in continual need.(10)
		In the dialogue on the forms and way of exercising the primacy, there must, then, be an important place for dialogue about how the style and policies of the Papal curia affect both the pope's ministry as head of the episcopal college, and the collegial ministry of the bishops in communion with him.
		In considering the papal office and the call to Christian unity, we have to confront the challenging truth that it is not permitted to defer unity until there is a pope who can fulfill everyone's expectations or agenda.

		The general call for reform, however, elicited the objection that since the curia was a papal institution it was not within the competence of the council to consider its reform.
		While canon law envisions the participation of the Roman curia in papal governance of the church, there is reason to question the extent to which the curia can similarly participate in the doctrinal teaching authority of the pope.
		The papal declaration itself, as an exercise of the ordinary papal magisterium, is not and cannot be an exercise of infallibility (that is, there is at least a remote possibility that this declaration could be erroneous).

	Referendarii
		In the Papal Curia the office of "referendarii Apostolici" originated in the Middle Ages; their duty was to receive all petitions directed to the Holy See, to report on them to the pope, and to tender him advice.
		The referendarii were entrusted with all arrangements for these papal decisions, which they had to prepare for the pope's signature (signatura).
		The whole body gradually lost all practical importance, especially after the loss of the papal States, and was entirely abolished at the reorganization of the Curia by Pius X. Die röm.

	Papal Sins
		Papal Sin reads and argues at varying times as if its author can’t decide if he is a Bible-thumping fundamentalist, a secular agnostic or a bitter ex-Catholic.
		Papal Sin is not a collection of anti-clerical tales from the dark ages meant to poke fun at the papacy.
		The difference is that Wills summarily rejects any papal authority to teach and, as such, it has led him down a road that moves from quiet dissent on social issues to outright rejection of fundamental Church teachings.

	Restoring collegiality new pope’s first task - Dec. 12, 1997
		The Vatican II doctrine of collegiality -- that the bishops, with the pope, govern the church as a college in succession to the apostles -- has been interpreted by this pope as meaning that the team is being collegial if they say the same thing as the captain.
		Meanwhile the curia -- the papal civil service -- has tended once more to take over the role of the church’s central government, whereas in fact their proper function is to be a papal instrument.
		It is as though the papal office were on a level of its own, with bishops, priests and lay people subjected to it.
