Introduction

This is a re-release of an article published on 29 July 2021 – one of the first articles published at The WM Review. It has now been revised and updated.

This is the second part of my study of Professor Roberto de Mattei’s treatment of Honorius, the so-called “heretic pope”. In his book, Love for the Papacy and Filial Resistance to the Pope in the History of the Church, Professor de Mattei presents the events in such a way as to bolster his own very particular “recognise and resist” view of the crisis in the Church. In certain respects, his narrative is closely aligned to those of anti-Catholics and anti-papalist.
