Pope Urban VIII (Latin: Urbanus VIII; baptised 5 April 1568 – 29 July 1644), reigned as Pope from 6 August 1623 to his death in 1644. He expanded the papal territory by force of arms and advantageous politicking, and was also a prominent patron of the arts and a reformer of Church missions.
However, the massive debts incurred during his pontificate greatly weakened his successors, who were unable to maintain the papacy's longstanding political and military influence in Europe. He was also involved in a controversy with Galileo and his theory on heliocentrism during his reign.
He is the most recent pope to date to take the pontifical name of Urban upon being elected as pope.
He was born Maffeo Barberini in April 1568 to Antonio Barberini, a Florentine nobleman, and Camilla Barbadoro. His father died when he was only three years old and his mother took him to Rome, where he was put in the charge of his uncle, Francesco Barberini, an apostolic protonotary. At the age of 16 he became his uncle's heir. He was educated by the Society of Jesus, ("Jesuits") and received a doctorate of law from the University of Pisa in 1589.
Pope Urban may refer to one of several people:
Pope Urban II (Latin: Urbanus II; c. 1042 – 29 July 1099), born Odo of Châtillon or Otho de Lagery, was pope from 12 March 1088 to his death in 1099. He is best known for initiating the First Crusade (1096–99) and setting up the modern-day Roman Curia in the manner of a royal ecclesiastical court to help run the Church.
Pope Urban II was a native of France. He was a descendant of a noble family in Châtillon-sur-Marne.
Urban, baptized Eudes (Odo), was born to a family of Châtillon-sur-Marne. He was prior of the abbey of Cluny, later Pope Gregory VII named him cardinal-bishop of Ostia c. 1080. He was one of the most prominent and active supporters of the Gregorian reforms, especially as legate in Germany in 1084. He was among the four whom Gregory VII nominated as papabile (possible successors). Desiderius, the abbot of Monte Cassino, was chosen to follow Gregory in 1085 but, after his short reign as Victor III, Odo was elected by acclamation at a small meeting of cardinals and other prelates held in Terracina in March 1088.
The Pope (Latin: papa from Greek: πάππας pappas, a child's word for "father") is the Bishop of Rome and the leader of the worldwide Catholic Church. The primacy of the Roman bishop is largely derived from his role as the traditional successor to Saint Peter, to whom Jesus is supposed to have given the keys of Heaven and the powers of "binding and loosing", naming him as the "rock" upon which the church would be built. The current pope is Francis, who was elected on 13 March 2013, succeeding Benedict XVI.
The office of the Pope is the papacy. His ecclesiastical jurisdiction, the Diocese of Rome, is often called "the Holy See" or "the Apostolic See", the latter name being based upon the belief that the Bishop of Rome is the successor of Peter the Apostle. The Pope is considered one of the world's most powerful people because of his diplomatic and cultural influence. He is also head of state of Vatican City, a sovereign city-state entirely enclaved within the Italian capital city of Rome.
Urban means "related to cities." It may refer to:

In October, 1633 Galileo was served at his house in Florence with a summons to appear before the Inquisition in Rome. His new book, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, included an argument for a heliocentric solar system with the Earth rotating and also orbiting the Sun. This was directly in contradiction of Church doctrine, which had already adopted the conclusion of Ptolemy, that the Earth was fixed in space and everything else moved around it. The Book remained on the Catholic Church's Index of Forbidden Books until 1835.
This is a pre-trial interview with the acting pope of the time, Pope Urban VIII. This interview was for Mr.Gold's Galileo mock trial. I apologize for any background noises that you might hear, this was recorded just as students were leaving school and the timing caused a lot of background noise. Enjoy!

If you're unfamiliar with Flat Earthers or The Flat Earth Society, their name pretty much explains their scientific point of view. They believe the Earth is flat, not round. If they're right, Galileo never should have been pardoned by the Catholic Church for his round Earth theory, for which he died in jail about 4 hundred years ago. Incidentally he was only pardoned in 1992. So they likely apologized to his corpse dust. Better late than never? Galileo died in prison for the crazy idea that planet Earth, and most other celestial objects, are roughly spherical in shape. And that the Earth circles the Sun, a heliocentric view of the cosmos. Actually, while Giordano Bruno was actually the first to offer the theory, Galileo, clever fellow that he was, was feeling that round Earth circling the ...
The shortest papacy in history ended after just twelve days following the death of Pope Urban VII, shortly after he introduced Europe’s first smoking ban. Giovanni Battista Castagna was elected as Pope on 15 September 1590 but died of malaria less than two weeks later. Despite his short reign, he was responsible for introducing a range of financial reforms that benefited the poor. Ranging from bread subsidies to public works projects, these were partly funded through restrictions on luxury items and partly from his own pocket. As well as these charitable acts, Urban VII was also responsible for Europe’s first smoking ban. Tobacco had arrived in Europe less than a century earlier, and the new Pope threatened to excommunicate anyone who was caught “chewing it, smoking it with a pipe or sni...

Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini, or Our Lady of the Conception of the Capuchins, is a church in Rome, Italy, commissioned by Pope Urban VIII, whose brother, Antonio Barberini, was a Capuchin friar.
Miserere, full name "Miserere mei, Deus" (Latin: "Have mercy on me, O God") by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri, is a setting of Psalm 51 (50) composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam. Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me. Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper. Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris. Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea. Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi. Asperges me hysopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et s...
Performed by the Christendom College Choir & Schola Gregoriana "Conditor Alme Siderum"- ("Creator of the Stars of Night") Anonymous text from the 7th century used at Vespers during Advent. In Pope Urban VIII's revision of the hymns of the Roman Breviary in 1632, the Advent hymns were greatly altered and this hymn was no exception. Only one line of the original remained and thus the revised hymn, titled Creator alme siderum, is really a separate hymn in and of itself...

Did what transpired between Pope Urban VIII and Galileo act as fuel to fire up the Protestant Reformation?
This video contains the 1974 revision of the hymn, of which I have been unable to find a translation. This 8th century hymn was altered by Pope Urban VIII, and again re-altered in the 1974 Roman Breviary. The chant is sung the Cistercian monks of Stift Heiligenkruez. The background art is Caravaggio's "St. Francis in Ecstasy", c.1595. The full Latin text with the translation of stanza 1 and 4 follow: Te lucis ante terminum, rerum Creator, poscimus, ut solita clementia, sis praesul ad custodiam. Te corda nostra somnient, te per soporem sentiant tuamque semper gloriam vicina luce concinant. Vitam salubrem tribue nostrum calorem refice taetram noctis caliginem tua collustret claritas. Amen. To thee before the close of day, Creator of the world, we pray That, with thy...
