Nevertheless, as a matter of honour, he continued to pursue his long-standing commitment to hold a General Council. But the pope’s priorities for it were limited to the achievement of peace between Christian princes, unity in the Church and defeat of the infidel. Despite many obstacles, Paul managed finally to convene the Council at Trent in 1545. The first years of the Council had minimal success in achieving its goals and little impact on reform which Paul largely contained. However, both Paul and the Council did sow the seeds of episcopal residence in single dioceses, a reform that would eventually become a core part of the Counter-Reformation.","PeriodicalId":218057,"journal":{"name":"Pope Paul III and the Cultural Politics of Reform","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126448665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It lacked engagement of cultural issues, especially those which promoted enhancement of Church and family honour through the accrual of benefices.

His strategies included securing Church offices, advantageous marriages, and Italian territories for his children and grandchildren. As he rose towards the papacy, Farnese was also influenced by the curial culture in which humanist concepts of the papal role intersected with the code of honour. These concepts, evident in court sermons, reflected a curial script that impelled the pope to project himself as the leading man in the coming of a new Imperium and the dawn of a Golden Age. As pope, Farnese wove this narrative through the magnificent display of festivals, art, and architecture. His pursuit of reform needs to be considered against the backdrop of this narrative.","PeriodicalId":218057,"journal":{"name":"Pope Paul III and the Cultural Politics of Reform","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123747327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, the Ottoman advance towards Italy continued and Paul needed to spend more and more on defensive strategies. The most effective way of increasing income for troops and defences was the sale of Church offices.
