- Title
DIPLOMAZIA VATICANA E RELAZIONI FRANCO-SPAGNOLE ALL?EPOCA DELLA NOTTE DI SAN BARTOLOMEO (1572).
- Authors
Altarozzi, Giordano
- Abstract
In the second half of the XVIth century the Catholic Church passes from its internal reform, which ended with the close of the Council of Trent, to that of the real Counter-Reformation. Beyond a purely religious, this step also produces political effects. In this context, the Holy See tries several times to promote an alliance of all the Catholic sovereigns, based on that between France and Spain. The St. Bartholomew?s Day massacre opens new possibilities, but in the end all the efforts of Vatican diplomacy will remain unfulfilled, showing how religion can not find more space in determining the policy of the States, except as simple instrumentum regni
