Volume Four of Creighton's "History of the Papacy" opens with the election of Pope Paul II, whom the author describes as "a man of handsome appearance, naturally suave and courteous, with all a Venetian's love of splendour." Paul II proved reticent and reclusive and failed to pacify turbulent Bohemia. He was succeeded by Francesco della Rovere, Pope Sixtus IV, with whose election "began a system of personal intrigue which rapidly grew into a serious scandal...and elevated nepotism into a political principle." His nephew, Cardinal Pietro Riario lived a life of dissolute luxury and died young. Sixtus IV condoned the Pazzi Conspiracy in which Guiliano de' Medici was murdered. During the pontificate of his successor, Innocent VIII, Lorenzo the Magnificent emerged as the preeminent Italian statesman of the Age. Volume Four concludes with the pontificate of Alexander VI, father of Lucrezia and Cesare Borgia, who sealed the fate of the fiery reformer Girolamo Savonarola by excommunicating him. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Did Lorenzo de'Medici's rule in Florence incur prosperity, or was it a corrupt and autocratic regime, rife with torture, that would spell the doom of the former Republic? While building an edifice of power, wealth and luxury, how was he secretly bankrupting his famous family and city? Was he really the perfect Renaissance Prince, and how did he launch the careers of both Michaelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci? And, with poverty and riots on the streets of Florence, who was Girolamo Savonarola, the Dominican priest bent on destroying Lorenzo and his family, while predicting the apocalyptic end of the world…? Join Dominic and Tom as they chart the rise and fall of Lorenzo the Magnificent, the ruin of Florence, and the hellfire and brimstone priest, destined to set the world on fire.   The Rest Is History Club: Become a member for exclusive bonus content, early access to full series and live show tickets, ad-free listening, our exclusive newsletter, discount book prices on titles mentioned on the pod, and our members' chatroom on Discord.

Na de Pazzi samenzwering had Lorenzo de Medici de macht strakker in handen dan ooit te voren, en niets wees erop dat de Medici's die macht snel kwijt zouden raken. Toch gebeurde dat. Na het overlijden van Lorenzo kreeg zijn zoon Piero het voor het zeggen, en binnen enkele jaren waren de Medici's de stad uitgegooid. Hier zijn veel redenen voor, maar een cruciale rol hierin was weggelegd voor de monnik Girolamo Savonarola. In deze laatste aflevering over de Medici's zal verteld worden hoe de Medici's tijdelijk, met de nadruk op tijdelijk, hun positie in Florence kwijtraakten. Vragen, opmerkingen, suggesties, tips of tops?

Girolamo Savonarola, frate domenicano, combatté la corruzione ecclesiastica, sfidò Alessandro VI e fu arso vivo a Firenze il 23 maggio 1498.

Bücher, Kosmetik, Spielkarten, Kunstwerke und noch mehr brannten am 7. Februar 1497 in Florenz. Es war das erste «Fegefeuer der Eitelkeiten». Der Mönch Girolamo Savonarola wollte damit alles zerstören, was er für unmoralisch hielt.

“Have no fear of them ... Rather fear Him.” A healthy and holy fear of God acknowledges His holiness and justice, while resting in His grace and forgiveness. Gospel fear is a reverent awe and respect for God, rooted in the majesty of Christ's person and work as revealed in the gospel. Nowhere is an elevated spirit of gospel fear more intensely represented than in the last pre-Reformation reformer, the martyr, Girolamo Savonarola. His heart was aflame for the glory of God and the good of man in the very birthplace of the Renaissance. With colossal conviction and an indefatigable devotion, he warned people to flee to Christ from the wrath of God, to turn to God from idols of man's making. Against unprecedented corruptions, Savonarola unleashed sacred Scripture, calling for regeneration in Christ's church. This short devotional message looks at the words of our Lord in Matthew 10 and through its lens considers the life and ministry of Savonarola. The aim of this message is to make much of Christ in the present, to stir our own souls in deepening devotion, and to guard from being desensitized by the world.

Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli, nacido el 3 de mayo de 1469, fue un filósofo político, escritor, diplomático, músico, dramaturgo y funcionario de la República de Florencia. Hoy en día, Maquiavelo es considerado uno de los principales fundadores de la ciencia política moderna. En junio de 1498, después del derrocamiento y ejecución de Girolamo Savonarola, el Gran Consejo eligió a Maquiavelo como Secretario de la Segunda Cancillería de la República de Florencia. Dr. John Dee afirma en El mago que Maquiavelo es un maestro de la mentira. Nereus es un personaje que los antiguos griegos lo adoraban como el Anciano del Mar original, lo llama el Hacedor de Rey en El Nigromante. Aten es un anciano poderoso y ex rey de Danu Talis. Es hijo de Bastet y Amenhotep, hermano de Anubis y padre de Tutankhamon. Fue su maestro, dijo de él que era una valiosa herramienta en varias ocasiones. Maquiavelo también escribió un libro famoso conocido como El príncipe. Maquiavelo era un hombre alto de piel bronceada y fríos ojos grises. Maquiavelo mantenía su cabello blanco como la nieve corto y siempre había estado bien afeitado, y sus gustos tendían hacia un estilo más elegante. Su traje negro y su camisa de seda blanca estaban claramente hechos a la medida, y su corbata carmesí oscuro estaba tejida con hilos de oro puro. Evaluemos el planteamiento…

As Savonarola languishes in his prison cell, his faith is tested. Reckoning with his inner battle between hope and despair, Savonarola would then write a series of religious tracts that have since taken on great theological significance.

Newly minted CWA Historical Dagger winner DAVID DV BISHOP chats to Paul Burke about his new historical thriller RITUAL OF FIRE, Renaissance Florence, Cesare Aldo, Savonarola, Aldo no 4 and smells.RITUAL OF FIRE Florence. Summer, 1538.A night patrol finds a wealthy merchant hanged and set ablaze in the city's main square. More than mere murder, this killing is intended to put the fear of God into Florence. Forty years earlier, puritanical monk Girolamo Savonarola was executed the same way. Does this new killing mean his fanatical disciples are reviving the monk's regime of holy terror?Cesare Aldo is busy hunting thieves in the Tuscan countryside, leaving Constable Carlo Strocchi to investigate the killing. When another merchant is burned alive in public, the rich start fleeing to their country estates. But the Tuscan hills can also be dangerous.Growing religious fervour and a scorching heatwave drives the city ever closer to madness. Meanwhile, someone is stalking those powerful men who forged lifelong bonds in the dark days of Savonarola.Unless Aldo and Strocchi work together, all of Florence will be consumed by an inferno of death and destruction.DV BISHOP is the pseudonym of award-winning writer David Bishop. His love for the city of Florence and the Renaissance period meant there could be only one setting for his crime fiction. The first book in the Cesare Aldo series, City of Vengeance, won the Pitch Perfect competition at the Bloody Scotland crime writing festival and the NZ Booklovers Award for Best Adult Fiction Book. It was also shortlisted for the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize. Bishop was awarded a Robert Louis Stevenson Fellowship while writing that novel.

Girolamo Savonarola fue un monje predicador que se opuso al poder de los Médici en la Florencia renacentista. Cuestionado por los humanistas y por el alto clero, su palabra llegaba a todos los rincones de Italia.

When Savonarola's influence prevents Florence from joining an anti-French coalition made up of the other Italian states, he raises the ire of Pope Alexander VI, sparking a deadly rivalry that would last for the next three years.   Email me Follow me on Twitter Like the show on Facebook Watch the show on YouTube Visit the eBay store Support the show on Patreon Bibliography: Bartlett, Kenneth. Florence in the Age of the Medici and Savonarola, 1464-1498: A Short History with Documents.

In this episode of our series on Savonarola, we follow events in Florence following the untimely death of Lorenzo the Magnificent. In this time of uncertainty, Savonarola's apocalyptic predictions grew increasingly bolder. As the friar sought to assert his independence from the Medici family, developments to the north threatened to turn his prophecies into reality.

Navigating politico-religious disagreements in a spirit of civility is nigh-on impossible in eras in which the meaning of civility itself is contested. How do we speak to each other civilly in a time of incivility?  Read by Leighton Pugh.  Image description: Girolamo Savonarola's execution on the Piazza della Signoria in Florence in 1498.

Controversial friar Girolamo Savonarola supervised the mass destruction of Renaissance art, literature and other priceless items he deemed as ‘fripperies' on 7th February, 1497 - an event that became known as ‘The Bonfire of the Vanities'. The Dominican cleric - eventually ex-communicated by the Pope for calling the Catholic Church ‘a whore' - commandeered a large following of adolescents, who went door-to-door in Florence demanding items to be chucked on to the pyre. Ironically, Savonarola was ultimately executed the following year… by being chucked into a fire. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly ask whether Savonarola's objections to Renaissance-era portraiture had any legitimacy; explain how he leveraged his ‘prophecies' to give him greater control of the City; and consider why he selected Shrove Tuesday, of all days, to build his famous bonfire…  Further Reading: ‘A big day in history: Florence's bonfire of the vanities' (HistoryExtra, 2012): https://www.historyextra.com/period/renaissance/a-big-day-in-history-florences-bonfire-of-the-vanities/ • ‘The friar who ignited the first bonfire of vanities in Florence' (The Washington Post, 2006): https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/entertainment/books/2006/04/02/the-friar-who-ignited-the-first-bonfire-of-vanities-in-florence-span-classbankheadthe-friar-who-ignited-the-first-bonfire-of-vanities-in-florence-span/f2de7781-44e6-4a86-a076-6d7f5b2e9854/ • ‘Who was Savonarola?'

El 7 de febrero de 1497, en Florencia, Italia, el monje Girolamo Savonarola ordenó quemar miles de piezas de arte en un intento por imponer una "reforma a las costumbres".

The First person to take Amos' socio-ethical message seriously was the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola. During Lent in Florence, Italy, in 1496, Savonarola preached a series of hard-hitting sermons on Amos and Zechariah against what he felt were the political and religious sins of that city-state. These sermons led to his imprisonment and subsequent execution in 1498. More recent Martin Luther King Jr. in his amazing, world changing “I have a dream” speech quotes Amos 5:24 “Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream.” This was the message that Amos was delivering to the people of Israel as well. He wanted them to know that their improper worship had led to improper treatment of others. He wanted to remind them that justice should roll out of them and that would cause righteousness to flow out to the other nations.   Visit our Website: https://yourchurchfriends.rocks/    

Beloved brothers and sisters, bask in the glory of God, humbly proclaiming the gospel to believers and unbelievers. Don't diminish the power of the gospel, but boast in it. Boast in our Savior and proclaim the gospel without reservation or discrimination. Girolamo Savonarola, an Italian forerunner of the Reformation, said that you can go to paradise if you want to, because your Savior, Christ, has gone there, but know that it is not by your own nature or by your own virtue that you will reach that place. Praise God for sending His Son to die so that we—Jews and Gentiles—might live!Thank you for listening to this episode of Declaring His Glory Among the Nations: Daily Scripture Meditations from Pastors Around the World. This show is from The Master's Academy International. If you like this podcast, please subscribe, and leave a review on your favorite podcast app. The Master's Academy International is committed to fulfilling the Great Commission by training indigenous church leaders worldwide. For more information and to learn how to get involved, visit www.tmai.org. ► CONNECT WITH US: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tmai.orgInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/tmai_orgTwitter - https://twitter.com/tmai_org► SEE OUR RESOURCES: Field Reports - https://www.tmai.org/updateMinistry Updates - https://www.tmai.org/subscribeOnline Giving - https://www.tmai.org/donateDevotional Book - https://www.tmai.org/devotionalFree Book - https://www.tmai.org/freebook► CONTACT US: Address - 13248 Roscoe Blvd, Sun Valley, CA 91352Phone - (818) 909-5570Email - info@tmai.org

A new MP3 sermon from Frontline Fellowship is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Girolamo Savonarola - The Reformer of Florence Subtitle: Reformation Society Speaker: Peter Hammond Broadcaster: Frontline Fellowship Event: Teaching Date: 11/10/2022 Length: 9 min.

Part 23 The Renaissance - Rebirth In the 14th and 15th centuries there was a great European revival of interest in the values of classical Greek and Roman literature, art, philosophy and politics. It started in Italy and spread throughout Europe. Scholars were called humanists as they moulded their life on the teachings of the great Greek and Roman classical literature. There was also an increase in other areas of life: scholastic freedom grew exponentially, Roman morality, paganism, the Greek New Testament and the study thereof, and many new universities throughout Europe were started. 1. Leading Spokesmen In amidst all this was the Church, which was continuing to change - and to the dismay of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, to the detriment of the established Church. Here are but 3 men – all of whom spoke brave words and lived brave lives! Girolamo Savonarola (1452-1498) - Italian preacher of reform and the hero of many early Protestants. He became a Dominican monk after studying humanism and medicine. He affected the masses by his preaching and transformed the lives of many intellectuals through his thinking. He showed the impurities and corruption of the Roman Catholic system and spoke against the exploitation of the poor. Savonarola was well known for speaking prophecies about civic glory and called for Christian renewal. Eventually Savonarola was excommunicated and executed for denouncing the Pope and the corrupt papal court. Here is one thing that Savonarola wrote: The Pope may err, and that in two ways, either because he is erroneously informed, or from malice. As to the latter cause we leave that to the judgment of God, and believe rather that he has been misinformed. In our own case I can prove that he has been falsely persuaded. Therefore any one who obstinately upholds the excommunication and affirms that I ought not to preach these doctrines is fighting against the kingdom of Christ, and supporting the kingdom of Satan, and is himself a heretic, and deserves to be excluded from the Christian community. John Colet (1466-1519) - a brilliant humanist at Oxford, and influenced Savonarola. He was enlightened and caused the epistles of Paul to live again in message. In 1512, as Dean of St. Paul's, he declared vicious and depraved lives of the church the worst heresy of all times which led to first reforming the bishops and it would spread to all. The church laws could not be enforced until the bishops became new men. Colet taught his students to keep the Bible and the Apostle's Creed. Here is a quote from his convocation sermon of 1512: “You are come together today, fathers and right wise men, to hold a council. In which what you will do and what matters you will handle, I do not yet know, but I wish that, at length, mindful of your name and profession, you would consider of the reformation of ecclesiastical affairs; for never was there more necessity and never did the state of the Church more need endeavors. For the Church – the spouse of Christ – which He wished to be without spot or wrinkle, is become foul and deformed.” Colet went on to conclude: “If, by chance, I should seem to have gone too far in this sermon—if I have said anything with too much warmth—forgive it me, and pardon a man speaking out of zeal, a man sorrowing for the ruin of the Church; and passing, by any foolishness of mine, consider the thing itself.” Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus (1467-1536) He was a student of John Colet and the greatest of all humanists. Professor of Divinity and Greek at Cambridge Uni. He aimed to reform Roman Catholic Church, from within and so didn't leave the church. As a result he was attacked by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestants. The Roman Catholic Church for heretical teaching, and by the Protestants for lacking courage. In 1516, he produced the Greek version of the New Testament because he wanted to make it understood by everyone. He was educated by Brethren of the Common Life, was ordained as a Priest in 1492 and laid the egg which Martin Luther later hatched. 2. Modern devotional movement. In Holland and Northern Europe, during this period, there was a renewed interest in a personal devotional life with God. One such group was the 'Brethren of the Common Life', who emphasised personal devotion, poverty, chastity and obedience in a semi-monastic lifestyle. Thomas a'Kempis (1380-1471). Thomas a' Kempis was born in Germany in 1380 to a blacksmith and a schoolmistress. In 1392, he started at school and while there encountered the devotional group, Brethren of the Common Life. From there, Thomas joined a monastery and became a prolific copyist and writer – copying by hand the Bible four times. His most noted work today though, .is the 'Imitation of Christ', still one of the most widely read devotional books, even though it is distinctly Roman Catholic in doctrine it is both scriptural and Christ-centred. The "Imitation of Christ" a devotional book divided into 4 parts. Part 1 - "Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life." Part 2 - "Directives for the Interior Life." Part 3 - "On Interior Consolation" Part 4 - "On the Blessed Sacrament" Here are some quotes from that book – ahead of its time in many ways! "At the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked what we have read, but what we have done." — The Imitation of Christ, Book I, Chapter 3 "For man proposes, but God disposes" — The Imitation of Christ, Book I, Chapter 19 "If, however, you seek Jesus in all things, you will surely find Him. " — The Imitation of Christ, Book 2, Chapter 7 You can download a copy of this book for free from CCEL: Tap or click here to save this as an audio mp3 file

We finally discuss the figure from the Heretics logo, Girolamo Savonarola, and look at why he was burned as a heretic despite being just the opposite in many ways. We also look at his role in setting the scene for Martin Luther.

Si os pensabais que esto sólo iba a tener tres entregas, estabais equivocados porque la historia de nuestros enemigos da para mucho, por desgracia. Hoy nos vamos a quedar en el Renacimiento, y más concretamente en la España de los Reyes Católicos, que eran tan católicos como homófobos, y en la Italia de la permisiva Florencia y la genocida Venecia. Nuevos nombres, además de Isabel y Fernando y Felipe II. También tenemos a Nicolás Aymeric, inquisidor general de Aragón, a San Bernardino de Siena (santo y promotor de genocidio homosexual) y al salvaje de Girolamo Savonarola, que probó de su propia medicina.

Piero de' Medici is gone, and a new rising star is a hotshot preacher named Girolamo Savonarola. Once an itinerant preacher and lecturer, Savonarola now finds himself hobnobbing with King Charles VIII of France and even having a say in Florence's newly rebuilt, Medici-free republic.

This is Father Jared Cramer from St. John's Episcopal Church in Grand Haven, Michigan, here with today's edition of Christian Mythbusters, a regular segment I offer to counter some common misconceptions about the Christian faith. In last week's edition of Christian Mythbusters, I talked about the dangers fascism poses to our country right now, including where I live here in Grand Haven, MI. I talked about how Christians are increasingly comfortable with fascist perspectives and ideology, something that should concern all of us, conservative and liberal alike.This week, I'd like to drill down to one specific point—book banning—and to explore some of the uncomfortable history Christianity has with this common tactic of fascists.First, we have to acknowledge that Christianity has often sought to suppress literature which it has perceived as contrary to the dominant view at the time. The original book burner himself was 15th century priest Girolamo Savonarola whose “Bonfire of the Vanities” burned art and books that he believed were morally lax or questionable. In 1517, the Nine Five Theses from Martin Luther were condemned by Pope Leo X. Later in the sixteenth century, the Holy Inquisition began compiling its Index Librorum Prohibitorum, a list of books and authors that Catholics were not allowed to print or read. The system remained in place for the next several hundred years, not abandoned until the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council. In my own English Christian tradition, the leaders of the Church of England (when it was still part of the Roman Catholic Church) burned thousands of copies of William Tyndale's English translation of the New Testament, eventually burning Tyndale himself as well. And, as many of us know, several books that have been banned in history have wound up being regarded as classic works of literature by later generations. Daniel Defoe's book Robinson Crusoe was on the Catholic Church's Index Librorum. So was Le Misérables by Victor Hugo. Boston's district attorney threatened to ban Walt Whitman's book Leaves of Grass. Christians in the White Citizen's Council urged the restriction of The Rabbits' Wedding because they thought this illustrated book promoted the dangerous idea of racial integration. Other examples include Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, James Dickey's Deliverance, The Diary of Anne Frank, and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. And it's not just questions of morals, Christians have also opposed books that might encourage people to understand the Bible and its teachings differently. Darwin's Origin of the Species was banned from the library of Trinity College Cambridge, where Darwin himself had studied. In 1925, Tennessee banned the teaching of the theory of evolution in schools in any form, a law that remained in place since the late sixties. But we also have several modern day examples of conservative Christians urging the banning of books. When I was in college, the battle was against JK Rowling and her Harry Potter series, due to its supposed encouragement of witchcraft and the occult. It struck me even then that it was odd Christians couldn't distinguish fictional magical powers from occult practices of worship and how many Christians missed the point in the first book that the most powerful thing of all was the self-sacrifice of Harry's mother in love for her son… a decidedly Christian idea!So much of the history of Christians censoring, banning, or even burning books is based on two elements: fear and the need to control. Christians have feared depictions of anything that they think might threaten their own conceptions of morality, anything that might send people down the wrong path. They believe that banning books will help them control people, ensure they are not exposed to anything to which their understanding of faith is opposed.And yet, the early church was remarkably committed to ideals of freedom and openness of dialogue, believing that the Christian faith could not be coerced. They opposed any sort of attempts at control to get people to be Christians or to force people to adopt Christian ways of thinking. They believed that the Christian life has to, in the end, be chosen by each individual or it will be broken from the start..I was struck by a verse from First John which was in the appointed Scripture readings for Morning Prayer this past Tuesday. In it, St. John wrote, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.” I wish Christians would let go of fear and control and instead seek perfection in love. Neither of these are virtues for the Christian faith. Indeed, Christianity actually thrives much more when people live with attitudes of love, respect, and humility, when it doesn't try to control what people read or how people live but instead when individual Christians choose to display in their own lives the love and sacrifice of Jesus, when Christians strive to be curious instead of judgmental.Christians need to repent, once and for all, of this tendency in our tradition throughout history to ban or burn that which we deem inappropriate. Instead, let's trust trained librarians to curate content that is age appropriate and, above all, let's engage in conversation about difficult works of literature, asking why it is so unsettling to people… and, perhaps most importantly, asking if you are unsettled because the content is inappropriate, or because the content raises issues of sin, selfishness, discrimination, or control that are already present in your own heart. And maybe your heart is what you should focus on a little bit more.Thanks for being with me. To find out more about my parish, you can go to sjegh.com. Until next time, remember, protest like Jesus, love recklessly, and live your faith out in a community that accepts you but also challenges you to be better tomorrow than you are today. 

After Lorenzo de Medici's death in 1492, Botticelli gave up painting, abandoned his humanist studies, and became a hardcore fundamentalist Christian. As did a lot of Florentines. The reason? They all fell under the spell of the original fire and brimstone preacher. He wasn't rich. He didn't have an army. He wasn't of the nobility. He wasn't sent by the pope. In fact, the Pope hated him. But he managed to do what so many rich men with armies had failed to do for decades. He overturned the government of Florence, kicked out the Medici family, and took control of the city. And... to top it off, he was a precursor of the Reformation. He is famous for the Bonfire Of The Vanities. His name was Girolamo SAVONAROLA. The post #94 – Savonarola Part 1 appeared first on The Renaissance Times.

Today is Friday so it is a Thought of the Walk day and I got a little weird this week. I started thinking about social networks, censorship and the Bonfire of the Vanities. So we will discuss how social networks are behaving much like Friar Savonarola's rein of terror is mich like what is starting to happen now on what have become major publishing platforms.
