Everything about Juan De Torquemada Cardinal totally explained
Juan de Torquemada (
1388 -
September 26,
1468), or rather
Johannes de Turrecremata,
Spanish ecclesiastic, was born at
Valladolid, and was educated in that city.
At an early age he joined the
Dominican Order, and soon distinguished himself for learning and devotion. In
1415 he accompanied the general of his order to the
Council of Constance, whence he proceeded to
Paris for study, and took his doctor's degree in 1423. After teaching for some time in Paris he became prior of the Dominican house first in Valladolid and then in
Toledo.
Torquemada attended the Council of Basel (1431-1449) as a representative of his order and of the king of Castile. At the Council of Basel he was one of the ablest supporters of the view of the Roman
curia, and he was rewarded with the office of Master of the Sacred Palace and then with a
cardinal's hat in 1439. Torquemada participated in the Council of Florence. He also worked on behalf of Pope Eugenius on missions to Germany and France before settling in the Roman Curia. Torquemada supported papal Crusade policy, reform of religious houses and papal primacy. He participated in four papal elections, casting the deciding vote in the election of Pope Nicholas V (1447-1455). He died at
Rome and was buried at Santa Maria sopra Minerva.
His principal works are:
- In Gratiani Decretum commentarii (4 vols., Venice, 1578)
- Expositio brevis et utilis super toto psalterio (Mainz, 1474)
- Quaestiones spirituales super evangelia totius anni (Brixen, 1498)
- Summa ecclesiastica (Salamanca, 1550) [orSumma de ecclesiastica potestate]
The last-named work has the following topics:
De universa ecclesia
De Ecclesia romana et pontificis primatu
De universalibus conciliis
De schismaticis et haereticis
His De conceptione deiparae Mariae, libri viii. (Rome, 1547), was edited with preface and notes by EB Pusey (London, 1869 seq.).
Other works include polemical tracts and sermons.
Juan de Torquemada was an uncle to the famous Inquisitor, Tomás de Torquemada.
