Orations “Messis quidem”, “Quamvis non dubitamus” and “Vocati estis” of Pope Pius II (5 and 8 March 1460, Siena). Edited and translated by Michael von Cotta-Schönberg. 5th version

Résumé

In March 1460, Pope Pius II made his first appointment of new cardinals: five were published immediately, and one was kept secret for the time being. The five publicly appointed were Angelo Capranica, Berardo Eroli, Niccolò Forteguerri, a relation of the pope, Alessandro Oliva da Sassoferrato, and Francesco Piccolomini Todeschini, the pope’s nephew and later pope himself under the name of Pius III. In this context the pope gave three addresses, two to the “old” cardinals, and one to the new, explaining the necessity for appointing new cardinals, motivating the individual appointments, criticizing cardinals for loose and luxurious living, and telling the new cardinals what virtues were required of them.
