Clement XIV

Clement XIV 1705-74, pope (1769-74), an Italian (b. near Rimini) named Lorenzo Ganganelli; successor of Clement XIII. He was prominent for many years in pontifical affairs at Rome, and he was created cardinal in 1759. He was a Conventual Franciscan. He inherited from his predecessor the hostility of every state of Catholic Europe. Clement XIV's part in the suppression of the Jesuits (see Jesus, Society of ) has been greatly discussed; he was probably pressured into it. The suppression removed the pope's only independent support and put the church into the hands of the secular princes. He was succeeded by Pius VI.

Clement XIV (1705–74), Pope from 1769. He was elected after a stormy conclave, the Bourbon courts having decided to recognize only a Pope ready to suppress the Jesuits. His chief aim was to preserve peace with the Catholic powers in order to gain their support against the growing irreligion; under pressure he issued a brief suppressing the Society of Jesus in 1773. The former Papal possessions of Avignon and Benevento were restored, but in France a royal commission continued suppressing religious houses, and in Portugal the secular authorities interfered in ecclesiastical affairs and education.
