Francois Pierre de Foix: The Valiant Cardinal-Archbishop of Arles Who Slayed the Papal Schism Dragon This evocative image depicts Francois Pierre de Foix (1386-1464), a renowned French churchman who left an indelible mark on the history of the Catholic Church. De Foix is most famously remembered for his pivotal role in resolving the Great Schism of 1378, a painful period in which there were two or even three popes claiming the papal throne. De Foix, a cardinal-archbishop of Arles, was a man of great intellect, diplomacy, and courage. In the midst of the schism, he emerged as a leading figure in the efforts to restore unity to the Church. With unwavering determination, he tirelessly worked to bring the warring factions together, traveling between the various papal claimants and engaging in intense negotiations. The dragon in this print symbolizes the papal schism, a beast that had wreaked havoc on the Church for over three decades. De Foix, represented by his portrait, is shown in the act of slaying the dragon, signifying his crucial role in bringing an end to the schism. This powerful image encapsulates the heroic spirit of Francois Pierre de Foix and his invaluable contribution to the Church's history. The date of this print is not explicitly stated, but it is known that Francois Pierre de Foix lived from 1386 to 1464. His legacy as a peacemaker and a champion of unity within the Church remains an inspiring testament to the power of diplomacy and determination in the face of adversity.
