Pope Gregory XVI
1765 CE–1846 CE · Modern · Belluno
Bartolomeo Alberto Cappellari, a Camaldolese monk and theologian, was the last pope elected from outside the episcopate. A staunch traditionalist, he opened his reign by suppressing revolts in the Papal States with Austrian troops and ruled the temporal domain firmly, resisting railways and other modern innovations he distrusted. His encyclical Mirari vos (1832) condemned liberalism, freedom of conscience, and press freedom, dismaying liberal Catholics like Lamennais. Yet he was also a vigorous promoter of overseas missions and, in In supremo apostolatus (1839), condemned the slave trade. A patron of the Vatican's Etruscan and Egyptian collections, he combined cultural learning with deep political conservatism.
