Background |
| |
Paganelli was elected Pope in February 1145 and took the name Eugene III. It is alleged, his election was on account of the influence of Bernard of Clairvaux. |
| |
During nearly the whole of his pontificate Eugene III was unable to reside in Rome. Hardly had he left the city to be consecrated in the monastery of Farfa (about 40 km north of Rome), when the citizens, under the influence of Arnold of Brescia – the great opponent of the Pope's temporal power — established the old Roman constitution, the Commune of Rome and elected Giordano Pierleoni to be patrician. |
| |
Eugene III appealed for help to Tivoli, Italy, to other cities at feud with Rome, and to Roger II of Sicily (who sent his general Robert of Selby) and with their aid was successful in making such conditions with the Roman citizens as enabled him for a time to hold the semblance of authority in his capital; but as he would not agree to a treacherous compact against Tivoli, he was compelled to leave the city in March 1146. He stayed for some time at Viterbo, and then at Siena, but went ultimately to France. |
| |
On hearing of the fall of Edessa to the Turks, he had, in December 1145, addressed the bull Quantum praedecessores to Louis VII of France (1137–80), calling on him to take part in another crusade; and at a great diet held at Speyer in 1146 the Emperor Conrad III (1138–52) also, and many of his nobles, were, by the eloquence of Bernard, incited to dedicate themselves to the Crusade. |
| |
He held synods in northern Europe: at Paris, Rheims, and Trier in 1147 and 1149 which were devoted to the reform of clerical life; he also considered and approved the works of Hildegard of Bingen. In 1149, Eugene III returned to Italy, and took up his residence at Viterbo. He fled to the Prince Ptolemy's fortress in Tusculum on 8 April and remained there, where he met the returning Crusader king Louis VII of France and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, until 7 November. In 1150, through the aid of the King of Sicily, he was again able to enter Rome, but the forces of the republicans soon compelled him to retreat. |
| |
The Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa (1152–90) had promised to aid him against the revolution in Rome, but Eugene III died at Tivoli, on July 8, 1153. |

Crime |

1146 CE |
Of murder and moral depravity: (1146 CE) That upon the Papal Bull authorizing the Second Crusade by Pope Eugenius III on Muslims at Edessa; St Bernard of Clairvaux did declare: "The Christian glories in the death of the pagan because thereby Christ himself is glorified". |
 |
1151 |
Of publishing false documents/statements (1151 CE) That Pope Eugine III did commission a forger Gratian to create a supremely false document called the Decretum incorporating the forged Isidorian Decretals that were then combined with two other major forgeries, The Donation of Constantine and the Liber Pontificalis, along with other falsified writings, and codified into a system of Church law which elevated Gregory and all his successors as absolute monarchs over the Church in the West. That the Decretum was designed to set forth precedents for the exercise of sovereign authority of the popes over the universal Church prior to the fourth century and make it appear that the popes had always exercised sovereign dominion and had ultimate authority even over Church Councils as well as the whole Western world. That of the three hundred and twenty-four times the epistles of the popes of the first four centuries are referred within the Decretum; three hundred and thirteen are from the letters which are now universally known to be deliberate forgeries. |
