TradCatKnight: Anti-Papal Profile: Anti-Pope Felix V (Duke Amadeus VIII of Savoy)
Once upon a time in Europe there was a major Catholic embarrassment known as “the Great Schism”. It came as a result of what is known as “the Babylonian Captivity” or the “Avignon Papacy” when the papal court moved from Rome to Avignon in France which produced a succession of French pontiffs who were seen as little more than the tools of the French Crown.
That ended with Pope Gregory XI and when he died the people of Rome were determined to have a Roman pontiff rather than a French one.
