Eugenius IV

Eugenius IV
(1383–1447)
   Pope.
   Eugenius was born Gabriele Condulmaro in Venice, Italy. He was the nephew of Pope Gregory XII, who brought him to Rome. He was appointed a Cardinal in 1408 and was elected Pope in 1431. He attempted to dismiss the Council of Basle which was setting a limit on papal power. However, the Council refused to be dismissed and eventually Eugenius was compelled to accept its principles of conciliarism.
   As a result of a rebellion in Rome, he was forced to flee to Florence, whereupon the Council set up an antipope, Felix V, the Duke of Savoy. However, Eugenius reasserted his authority and succeeded in effecting a temporary union between the Churches of East and West; he also excommunicated the Bishops at the Council. He encouraged a crusade against the Turks which ended in a Christian defeat at Varna. Eugenius is primarily remembered for his dealings with the Council of Basle and for his attempts to achieve reunion with the Greek Church. The principle that was established for union, diversity of rite coupled with unity of faith, remains accepted to this day.
