The Servite friar Fulgenzio Micanzio, a collaborator of Paolo Sarpi and consultor in iure of the Venetian Republic, conducted an angry and bitter polemic against the Church of the Counter Reformation. The principal cause of the ills afflicting the ecclesiastical body was, for Fulgenzio, the abuse of power on the part of the Pope: the usurpation and centralization of the authority that had once belonged to the whole community of faithful. Under the impetus of the Papacy, the Church had encroached upon politics, but was the victim of secularization and politicization wich made it very similar, in constitution and structure, to an absolute monarchy. It followed that any project for reforming the Church that could not be translated into effective political action, with the aim of reducing the excess power of the Papacy, was destined to remain nothing more than a pure and simple moral aspiration.
