  Pope Marcellus II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcellus II, né Marcello Cervini (May 6, 1501 – May 1, 1555), cardinal of Santa Croce, a native of the area of Ancona, Italy, was elected pope to succeed Julius III on April 9, 1555.
Marcellus II was both ordained as a bishop and crowned pope on the next day in a subdued ceremony on account of it falling during the Lenten season.
Though Marcellus desired to reform many of the inner workings of the church, his feeble constitution succumbed to the fatigues of the conclave, the exhausting ceremonies connected with his ascension, the anxieties arising from his high office, and overexertion in his performance of the pontifical functions of the Holy Week and Easter.

 Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The next pope, Marcellus II, was succeeded after a reign of 23 days, by Paul IV; and within less than a year (July 30, 1555) that stern reformer dismissed Palestrina, together with two other married singers, A. Ferrabosco and Bari, with a consolatory pension of six scudi per month to each.

 HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH*
Whatever may be thought of the popes of earlier times," says Ranke,213 "they always had great interests in view: the care of oppressed religion, the conflict with heathenism, the spread of Christianity among the northern nations, the founding of an independent hierarchy.
But while the popes thus extended their spiritual dominion over the new barbarous races, they were the political subjects of the Eastern emperor as the master of Italy, and could not be consecrated without his consent.
Since that time the pope who a few weeks before had proclaimed to the world his own infallibility in all matters of faith and morals, is confined to the Vatican, but with no diminution of his spiritual power as the bishop of bishops over two hundred millions of souls.
