With Charles V's Imperial Coronation in 1530 in Bologna, the relationship between imperial and ecclesiastical government was reconfigured according to the Emperor's sovereign capacities in administering the temporal concerns alongside the development of ecclesiastical affairs. This consolidation of Charles V's imperial government represented a major challenge in respect to the Roman Curia's insights regarding the contemporary theological conceptions contesting Roman ecclesiastical government. Following the election of Pope Paul III in 1534 and the creation of a Consilium de emendanda ecclesiae two years later, this great issue was to be principally resolved by a commission of cardinals and Curial prelates in anticipation of a general Church council that was to resolve the theological disparities between Catholic and Protestant positions regarding on ecclesiology. The Consilium thus served as a consulting entity within the Roman Curia concerning Pope Paul III's ambitions for calling a Church council. Contrary to previous scholarship, this study demonstrates how this particular commission acted in following a Curial program of neutralizing the papal strategies of pacifying the Emperor Charles V and King Francis I. This reinterpretation of the Consilium de emendanda ecclesiae and of its members is presented through the conflicting relationship between the Roman Curia and Pope Paul III regarding the calling of a general Church council that was to instill a reorganization of Roman ecclesiastical government.
