	Pope Celestine V - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His successor, Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), sent for him, and finally, despite desperate attempts of the late Pope to escape, got him into his hands, and imprisoned him in the castle of Fumone near Ferentino in Campagna, where, after languishing for ten months in that infected air, he died on May 19, 1296.
		Celestine V, like Pope Celestine I (422–432), is recognized by the Church as a saint.
		The life of Celestine V is dramatised in the plays L´Avventura di un Povero Cristiano (The Story of a Humble Christian) by Ignazio Silone in 1968 and Sunsets and Glories by Peter Barnes in 1990.

	Cultural Catholic - Pope Boniface VIII
		Fearing a schism if Pope Celestine V's supporters attempted to return him to the papacy, Pope Boniface VIII ordered Pope Celestine V's arrest; and when Pope Celestine V attempted to flee, he was imprisoned at the fortress of Fumone in Italy where he died on May 19, 1296.
		Pope Boniface VIII gained the reputation of being prone to outbursts of impatience and was consumed by the acquisition of wealth and power for his family and for himself.
		Pope Boniface VIII proclaimed 1300 a year of Jubilee (the first Holy Year) and granted plenary indulgences (the remission of temporal punishment in Purgatory) to the tens of thousands of pilgrims to Rome.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Celestine V
		Celestine, whose mind was not yet clear on the subject, returned an evasive answer, whereupon the multitude chanted the Te Deum and withdrew.
		A week later (13 December) Celestine's resolution was irrevocably fixed; summoning the cardinals on that day, he read the constitution mentioned by Boniface in the "Liber Sextus", announced his resignation, and proclaimed the cardinals free to proceed to a new election.
		Some years after his canonization by Clement V in 1313, his remains were transferred from Ferentino to the church of his order at Aquila, where they are still the object of great veneration.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Boniface VIII
		Thoroughly imbued with the principles of his great and heroic predecessors, Gregory VII and Innocent III, the successor of Celestine V entertained most exalted notions on the subject of papal supremacy in ecclesiastical as well as in civil matters, and was ever most pronounced in the assertion of his claims.
		He was one of the most distinguished canonists of his age, and as pope enriched the general ecclesiastical legislation by the promulgation ("Sacrosanctæ", 1298) of a large number of his own constitutions and of those of his predecessors, since 1234, when Gregory IX promulgated his five books of Decretals.
		Gröne, a German Catholic historian of the popes, says of Boniface (II, 164) that while his utterances equal in importance those of Gregory VII and Innocent III, the latter were always more ready to act, Boniface to discourse; they relied on the Divine strength of their office, Boniface on the cleverness of his canonical deductions.

	St. Peter Celestine V
		In the ancient church there were a couple of popes who are presumed to have resigned in difficult circumstances: St. Pontian in A.D. 235 and Pope John II in A.D. But there was one utterly clear case of papal resignation that set a legal precedent: the abdication of Pope Celestine V in 1294.
		Celestine was so guileless and so unwilling to offend that he accepted the suggestion and took up residence in Naples' new royal palace, the Castel Nuovo, that still stands as a landmark on the Neopolitan seaside.
		Some of the new pope's enemies were determined to deny the validity of Peter's abdication and to use the retired pope as a weapon against his successor.
