 Reflections
For you, down there in 2006, the story of the death of Pope John Paul II and the election of his successor is old news, and the world’s attention is focused somewhere else.
What gave me the notion of becoming pope in the first place was, in fact, a remarkable if obscure fantasy novel—ah, the relevance to this magazine’s readership surfaces!—by the eccentric English novelist Frederick Rolfe: Hadrian the Seventh, first published in 1904, still in print, and well worth the attention of the curious.
Popes were not chosen by secret ballot then, as they are now, and Fabian was a spectator at the deliberations when a dove suddenly fluttered down and settled on his head.

Ivo adds from the instructions that John VIII gave to his legates for the council in 879: "You will say that, as regards the synods which were held against Photius under Pope Hadrian at Rome or Constantinople, we annul them and wholly exclude them from the number of the holy synods".
But with greater force and particular significance, Nicholas, the most blessed and aptly-named pope of old Rome, was sent from above as another cornerstone for the church, preserving as far as possible the figurative likeness, as from an exalted and pre-eminent place, to confront the carefully organised opposition of Photius.
Photius did this in such a way that as a result all the existing bishops and priests, that is, the other patriarchal sees and all the clerics within them, were included in the same anathema, for all were most certainly in communion with the leading bishop, and amongst them himself and his followers.

 Tomb of Pope Hadrian VI by PERUZZI, Baldassare
Tomb of Pope Hadrian VI by PERUZZI, Baldassare
After the notable architecture of Agostino Chigi's Villa Farnesina, he had the opportunity to seal his reputation with the theme of the monumental tomb, with that of the Netherlandish pope Hadrian VI (1522-23) in Santa Maria dell'Anima, working from 1524 to 1529, Among his collaborators was Niccolò Tribolo, a pupil of Jacopo Sansovino.
He stressed the pictorialness of Sansovinian models with grand columns in polychrome marble, particularly in Lucullan fl ("nero africano"), which links Hadrian's tomb with the columns Peruzzi painted in the Sala delle Prospettive in the Villa Farnesina.

 Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series II, Vol. XIV
John, the most magnificent Logothete, said: That this is the case is also known to the Sicilians, the beloved of God Theodore, the bishop of Catanea, and the most revered deacon Epiphanius who is with him, who holds the place of the archbishop of Sardinia.
And when the most blessed Pope heard it, he said: Since this has come to pass in the days of their reign, God has magnified their pious rule above all former reigns.
Wherefore Hadrian, the ruler of Old Rome, since he was a sharer of these things, thus borne witness to, wrote expressly and truly to our religious Emperors, and to our humility, confirming admirably and beautifully the ancient tradition of the Catholic Church.

 'Hadrian the Seventh' - The New Companion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
It was an odd sensation to re-read Frederick Rolfe's novel Hadrian the Seventh while the process of electing a new Pope was going on in the Vatican.
He chooses the name Hadrian VII, after the last English Pope (Hadrian IV, who sat on the throne briefly in the twelfth century), and goes on to remake the papacy, the church and the European political scene.
The undercurrents of wish-fulfillment and the implicit homosexuality add a fascinating, sometimes campy dimension to the book, but the disparity between Rolfe's life and his dream of Hadrian is sad enough to make the book touching even when it's silly.

The pope was too much of a hierarch and Frederick too much of an emperor to live in peace.
Frederick proudly retorted that instead of owing fealty to the pope, the popes owed fealty to the emperor, inasmuch as it was by the gift of the emperor Constantine that Pope Sylvester secured possession of Rome.
This English pope, who laid the city of Rome under the interdict, which no Italian or German pope had dared to do, presented Ireland to the crown of England, on the ground that all the islands of the Christian world belong to the pope by virtue of Constantine’s donation.
