The ... moremassive debts incurred during his papacy greatly weakened his successors, who were unable to maintain the papacy's longstanding political and military influence in Europe. He was also involved in a controversy with Galileo and his theory on heliocentrism during his reign. He is the most recent Pope to date to take the name"Urban" upon being elected as Pope On 6 August 1623. At the papal conclave following the death of Pope Gregory XV, Barberini was chosen as Gregory's successor and took the name Urban VIII. Upon Pope Urban's election. Zeno, the Venetian envoy, wrote the following description of him: The new Pontiff is 56 years old. His Holiness is tall. Dark, with regular features and black hair turning grey. He is exceptionally elegant and refined in all details of his dress; has a graceful and aristocratic bearing and exquisite taste. He is an excellent speaker and debater, writes verses and patronises poets and men of letters. Urban's papacy covered 21 years of the Thirty Years' War and was an eventful one even by the standards of the day. He canonized Elizabeth of Portugal.

As regent of the college of S. Bonaventura, Rome, he came under the notice of Benedict XIV, who conceived a high opinion of his talents and made him consulter of the Inquisition. Upon the recommendation of Ricci, general of the Jesuits, Pope Clement XIII made him a cardinal; but, owing to his disapproval of the pope's policy, he found himself out of favor and without influence. The conclave following the death of Clement XIII was the most momentous of at least two centuries. The fate of the Jesuits hung in the balance; and the Bourbon princes were determined to have a pope subservient to their hostile designs. The struggle was prolonged three months. At length, on the 19th of May 1769, Ganganelli was chosen, not as a declared enemy of the Jesuits, but as being least objectionable to each of the contending factions. The charge of simony was inspired by Jesuit hatred; there is absolutely no evidence that Ganganelli pledged himself to suppress the order. The outlook for the papacy was dark; Portugal was talking of a patriarchate; France held Avignon; Naples held Ponte Corvo and Benevento; Spain was ill-affected; Parma. Defiant; Venice,

He opposed democratic and modernising reforms in the Papal States and throughout Europe, seeing them as fronts for revolutionary leftism. Against these trends he sought to strengthen the religious and political authority of the papacy(see ultramontanism) He encouraged missionary activity abroad to increase the church's international influence, but his harsh repression, financial extravagance and neglectfulness left him deeply unpopular domestically.

The pontificate of the saintly Orsini pope, Benedict XIII from the standpoint of the spiritual interests of the Church, had left nothing to be desired. ... moreHe had, however, given over temporal concerns into the hands of rapacious ministers; hence the finances of the Holy See were in bad condition; there was an increasing deficit, and the papal subjects were in a state of exasperation. It was no easy task to select a man who possessed all the qualities demanded by the emergency.

A Corsini by the father's side and by the mother's a Strozzi. The best blood ofFlorence coursed through his veins. Innumerable were the members of his house who had risen to high positions in Church and State, but its chief ornament was St, Andrew Corsini the canonized bishop of Fiesole. Lorenzo made a brilliant course of studies, first in the Roman College, then at the University of Pisa, where, after five years, he received the degree of Doctor of Laws.
