The article presents the collecting activity of Nicolaus Strosberg during the final years of the pontificate of Gregory XI and the early years of the rule of the Roman pope Urban VI. Strosberg was nominated by a cleric of the papal chamber for only one occasion but managed to take over the Polish collector during the time when the office of collector general was held by Peter son of Stephen. He was the first collector general since the beginning of the Polish collectory who had been a member of the local clergy. Because of his ruthlessness in executing the papal debts, his activities were not very popular in the church province of Gniezno. Unlike his predecessors, Nicolaus Strosberg resided not in Cracow but in Wroclaw. For transferring the money to Rome he no longer used the merchants of Cracow but cooperated with Italian bankers. Accused of conversion of funds, he was revoked from office and forced to cover the debts for the papal chamber from his own beneficial income. The loss of the collector's office did not stop Strosberg's ecclesiastical career in Poland. He later became an official and a vicar general of the archbishop of Gniezno.

The Papacy extensively used services of its nuncios in enforcement of Counter-Reformation. It was not different in the Bohemian lands, particularly after 1583, when the nunciature resided on the Emperor’s court in Prague. The daring plans of the first nuncios residing in Prague, however, were replaced with a defensive policy under the pontificate of Pope Paul V (1605-1621). This is documented in a general directive to nuncio Antoni Caetani dated 1607. Thus in 1607-1609, Caetani concentrated his activities on defence of Catholic interests against Protestantism, interventions from secular powers and inner discipline in church institutions.

Bernard of Clairvaux (1090 – 1153) belongs to the most important historical figures of the first half of the twelfth century. Almost 500 letters were preserved form his monumental works until today. These letters were sent to most important personalities of the secular and spiritual world of his day. This article seeks to analyse and interpret the relation of Saint Bernard with popes as leader of the Catholic Church and with the papacy as an institution destined to lead the faithful to the eternal salvation. The abbot of Clairvaux kept vivid contacts with all the popes reigning between 1124 and 1153. In the case of Innocent II and Eugene III one can say that he even actively enabled their instalment on the throne of St. Peter. Just like in the case of monasticism, episcopate or lay princes, Bernard took a similar approach towards the popes. He enforced his vision of the papacy. Bernard was also able to transform these visions to real life and so he exercised a double impact on the most important institution of the Christian world.

This study deals with several phenomena of the pontificate of Pope Francis in its historical context. It reflects some major recent works on the topic and discusses the shift in the priorities of current papacy towards global Catholicism and the systematic interest in the social, economic, and geographical margins of contemporary world. It examines the limits of the pontificate seen in vigorous opposition within the church and the post-resignation papacy of Benedict XVI. It also deals with the pope’s relation to the Second Vatican Council and his approach to resolving intra-church crises and tensions, as well as his efforts to restore the credibility and authority of the Catholic Church.
