| Summary | "Cours familier de Littérature - Volume 19" by Alphonse de Lamartine is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The text discusses the intricacies of papal authority and the significant role of Cardinal Consalvi during the reign of Pope Pius VII. The narrative appears to explore both political and spiritual dimensions of church governance, focusing particularly on the dynamics between the papacy and state powers during a tumultuous period in European history. The opening of the work introduces themes centered on the authority of the papacy, establishing its legitimacy regardless of differing opinions on its divine or human origins. Lamartine reflects on the impactful relationship between Pope Pius VII and his minister Consalvi, describing their governance as a partnership driven by mutual respect and loyalty, a rare quality in historical leadership. The beginning sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Consalvi's life and his diplomatic involvement during significant events, including the challenges posed by the Napoleonic era, highlighting his personal connections and experiences that shaped his political strategies.
