Information
------------------------------
The history of the Papacy parallels the history of Western civilization itself, from the founding of the Church nearly 2,000 years ago by Peter through the end of the second Millennium and the reign of Pope John Paul II. In that time, the Church has become one of the most enduring and influential of all human institutions, outliving great empires and shaping the political and moral destinies of nations and continents.
The papacy started in 30 A.D. when Jesus Christ declared that Simon Bar-Jona would be called Peter (rock). It was on that "rock" the Catholic Church was built and a legacy of 263 popes would follow St. Peter. For the first four centuries, being named the Bishop of Rome often meant exile, imprisonment, torture, or martyrdom. As Christianity gained adherents among the rich and powerful the papal seat became one of global influence.
Saints and Sinners: The History of the Popes, produced with the cooperation of the Vatican, explores this rich and compelling history, revealing the crucial roles and human dimensions of the Popes, the saints and sinners who have led the Roman Catholic Church over the past 2000 years, unlocking the great stories of devotion, sacrifice and betrayal, politics and intrigue, and great artistic and cultural achievement.
Produced by Opus Television for S4C International and Channel 4 Wales Television, UK in Association with RTE Ireland and La 5 France
5) The Pope and the People (1774 - 1903)
The modern era, ushered in by the French Revolution, inaugurated a new series of challenges for the Popes, forcing them to accept a new secular "liberal" state in favor of a pluralist society. By the 1780s, every Catholic state in Europe wanted to reduce the Pope to a ceremonial figurehead, and most had succeeded. Kings and princes appointed bishops and abbots, dictated which feast days would be observed and which ignored, policed or prevented appeals to Rome, vetted the publication of papal utterances. This was a theological as well as a political phenomenon. Under the influence of Jansenism and a growing Catholic interest in the early Church many theologians emphasised the supremacy of the bishop in the local church.
THE POPE AND THE PEOPLE focuses on the denunciation of these secular values by Pope Pius IX and the subsequent attempts of Leo XIII to lead the Church into the 20th Century in a spirit of progress, realistic diplomacy and conciliation.
