Papal Finance Reform and Church Appointments Clash
The Pope intensifies financial reform and abate abuse from late pontificate era. Orders via Cardinal Ottoboni force the Farmer General of Fish to resign amid detected frauds. Cardinal Querini resists as Brescia bishopric dispute unfolds. Molini argues monks must stay in convents per vows. Nuncios Delci and Alemanni await Rome’s stance on papal decisions. Alemanni reports Targa Corcia’s swift Naples departure for Germany after a citation. The Emperor rejects interference, Lucca submits to the Holy See over Archbishop Cervioni, and Cardinal Belluga recovers.
