Blessed Pope Urban V

0

Blessed Pope Urban V was born in Guillaume Grimoard in 1310. He was Pope from 1362 to 1370. During his pontificate he was a severe disciplinarian, discountenanced the pomp and luxury of the cardinals, introduced considerable reforms in the administration of justice, and liberally patronised learning. He founded the University of Hungary. In Toulouse, he saved the university of music. In Montpellier, he restored the school of medicine and founded the college of St Benoit whose church became a cathedral decorated with numerous works of art. The great feature of Urban V’s reign was the effort to restore the Papacy to Italy, and to suppress its powerful rivals for the temporal sovereignty there. Pope Urban V died in 1370 and beatified in 1870.
