Pope Benedict XIV
When Clement XII died (February 6, ) the fame of Lambertini was at its highest. Through intrigues of various kinds the conclave which commenced on February 17 lasted for six months. It was composed of fifty-four cardinals of whom forty-six were Italians, three French, four Spanish, and one German. These were split into several parties. One was composed of those who had been appointed by Clement XI, Innocent XIII, and Benedict XIII; another of those appointed by Clement XII who were known as the new college. The long, tedious session and the intense heat did not improve the temper of the cardinals; after six months of fruitless effort and constant intrigue, the election seemed no nearer than in the beginning. Various expedients were suggested, such as the withdrawal of the names of the leading candidates and the substitution of others, but without avail. After several plans had been tried to end the deadlock, Lambertini, whose name had been proposed as a compromise, addressed the conclave, saying: &#;If you wish to elect a saint, choose Gotti; a statesman, Aldobrandini; an honest man, elect me.&#; These words spoken as much perhaps in jest as in earnest helped
Rory Cooney Needs “Healing” From Pope Benedict&#;s Liturgical Reforms
Click to enlarge image ARDINAL RATZINGER famously called for a “new liturgical movement” (which Cardinal Burke has called a “Reform of the Reform”), but not all seem excited about such things. Rory Cooney is a “contemporary” liturgical composer famous for writing Bread of Life. Here are some lyrics * he wrote for that song:
I myself am the bread of life.
You and I are the bread of life,
taken and blessed, broken and shared by Christ
that the world may live. [ … ]This is our body, this is our blood:
a living sign of God in Christ. [etc.]
Rory Cooney recently had this to say about those who desire more reverent liturgies:
My inner optimist has started to heal over the last couple of years, surrendering to the harsh reality of recent successes in the reform-the-reform movement, but at the same time seeing that, well, it could have been a lot worse. I see that as an act of providence. The joy of writing has come back, even though things are far from ideal. It’s all right, I guess, to sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land after all. [source]

Benedict XIV and the Enlightenment: Art, Science, and Spirituality
Pope Benedict XIV Lambertini (r. –58) was one of the driving forces behind the Italian Enlightenment of the eighteenth century. His campaign to reconcile faith and empirical science, re-launch a dialogue between the Church and the European intellectual community, and expand papal patronage of the arts and sciences helped restore Italy’s position as a center of intellectual and artistic innovation.
Benedict XIV and the Enlightenment offers a broad and nuanced assessment of Benedict’s engagement with Enlightenment art, science, spirituality, and culture. The collection’s essays, written by international experts in the field, cover topics ranging from Benedict’s revisions to the Church’s procedures for beatification and sanctification to his patronage of women scientists and mathematicians at the university in Bologna, his birthplace.
