II" by Cesare Cantù is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume delves into the complexities of the Catholic Church during the Reformation period in Italy, particularly examining the actions and challenges posed by figures such as Pope Paul III, the rise of Protestantism, and the establishment of reformed orders like the Jesuits. The narrative highlights the political and religious upheavals of the era, capturing the tension between tradition and reform within the Church. The opening of the work sets the stage by portraying the legacy of Pope Paul III and his significant influence during the tumultuous period of the Reformation. It outlines his efforts to consolidate power while navigating the challenges posed by Protestant reformers and internal corruption within the Church. The text describes the political maneuvers and personal characteristics of historical figures, including their alliances and rivalries, as well as the push for church reform initiated by various clerical factions. This intricate portrait of ecclesiastical politics serves as a precursor to the discussions that will follow in the subsequent sections of Cantù's detailed examination of heresy and reform in Italy.
