• Resumen

  • After the appearance of the first writings in defense of Venice during the Interdict, Cardinal Scipione Borghese, in close collaboration with the Holy Office, placedunder strict surveillance Paolo Sarpi and his collaborator Fulgenzio Micanzio. Thedocumentation preserved in the Vatican Secret Archives and in the Archives of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith thus constitute a precious source of knowledgeon the thought, life and political initiatives undertaken by the two theologians. Thearticle goes over these Roman sources and concludes that the relationship maintainedby Sarpi and Micanzio with the British Embassy and then with Calvinist theologiansdid not entail any adhesion to the reformed theology, even generically understood, butwas part of an ethical-political strategy aimed at liberalizing the Venetian religiouslife by compressing the ecclesiastical jurisdiction and simplifying the conditions of faithimposed to the faithful.
