Topic: Urban VII


  
  Pope Urban VII Information
Pope Urban VII (August 4, 1521 – September 27, 1590), born Giovanni Battista Castagna, was Pope for thirteen days in September 1590.
So, considering the Annuario Pontificio's claim, Pope Urban VII would have had the shortest reign in history, but according to the Catholic Encyclopedia, his would be the second shortest reign in history.
Urban VII's short passage in office gave way to the world's first known public smoking ban, as he threatened to excommunicate anyone who "took tobacco in the porchway of or inside a church, whether it be by chewing it, smoking it with a pipe or sniffing it in powdered form through the nose".

Urban deposed Joanna of Naples (aist of April 1380) for adhering to France and Savoy in support of the antipope, and gave her kingdom to Charles of Durazzo.
Urban was vain, self-willed and extremely conscious of his position; he accepted the papacy chiefly as a temporal principality, and made it his first care to provide for its defence and to render it formidable.
The only territory gained during Urban's pontificate, the duchy of Urbino, the last addition to the papal states, was acquired by reversion (1631); and in his one war, with the duke of Parma, for the district of Castro, he met defeat and humiliation (1644).

 History of the Mass (14histot.htm)
Urban II had the true concept of the Crusades in endeavoring to save souls by sending missionaries with the troops who would not only minister to the Christian soldiers as chaplains but serve as evangelists to the infidels in hopes of converting them away from Allah and to the One, True God.
South of Rome Urban enjoyed tremendous support from the Normans and the Sicilians to whom he granted powers over the Church in the latter country which came to be known as the "Sicilian Monarchy" and which, to this day, has caused bitter strife and bloodshed.
Many believe Urban II undertook the crusades on behalf of the Byzantine cause to reconcile with the Eastern Church for at his next synod in Bari, Italy Urban was able to convince the Eastern representatives, thanks to the astute explanation by Saint Anselm, the validity of the doctrine "Filioque".

The founder of the Tudor monarchy was Henry VII.

Charles VII (born 1403, ruled 1422–61) was not able to be crowned king until seven years after the death of his father, Charles VI—and then he owed his crown to the courage, faith, and enthusiasm of a simple peasant, Joan of Arc (see Joan of Arc).
