Justini Febronii, ... Commentarius In Suam Retractationem Pio Vi. Pont. Max. Kalendis Novemb. An. 1778 Submissam... is a Latin text by Johann Nikolaus von Hontheim, writing under the pseudonym Justinus Febronius. This commentary pertains to his retraction submitted to Pope Pius VI in November 1778. The work is significant for its engagement with Febronianism, a movement advocating for the autonomy of national churches and the limitation of papal authority. This historical text offers insights into the theological and political debates within the Catholic Church during the 18th century. It provides valuable source material for scholars of ecclesiastical history, canon law, and the history of political thought. The volume reflects the complex relationship between religious doctrine and secular power, making it a key resource for understanding the intellectual landscape of the Enlightenment.
