Discover how papal decrees gain civil force and what that means for Catholics and the state.
This collection analyzes the Placet, a practice that could make church documents legally binding in many European realms. It traces how rulers claimed power to review doctrinal bulls, rescripts, and briefs, and it considers how these ideas clash with national law and parliamentary norms. The material surveys France, Spain, Portugal, and other kingdoms to show how the balance between church authority and secular power evolved.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of tracts written by the author in response to a charge delivered by the Bishop of Durham which attributed to Catholics certain doctrines that the author contends are misrepresented or entirely false. The charge was published by the Bishop of Durham and provoked a number of other writers to attack the author, prompting him to write numerous tracts in his own defense. Those tracts have been compiled in this book along with the author's replies to his critics and further remarks on Bishop Durham's later writings on the topic. The author was motivated to publish these tracts to defend the Catholic Church and its adherents, whom he believed were being unfairly targeted and misrepresented by their detractors. Those interested in the history of the Catholic Church in England during this period and the debates over religious doctrine at the time will find this book an invaluable resource.
