harbingers of the Jubilee, the pardon of Pope Celestine. (P. Giustiniani)

Professor Pasquale Giustiniani's text focuses on the precursors to the Jubilee, with particular attention to the "Perdonanza" of Pope Celestine V. In 1294, Celestine V instituted the Bull of the Perdonanza, granting plenary indulgence to those who visited the Basilica of Santa Maria di Collemaggio in L'Aquila. This event is seen as a precursor to the Jubilee, officially called by Boniface VIII in 1300 with the bull "Antiquorum habet fide relatio." The text also explores the context of Celestine's decision, including his relationship with Charles II of Anjou and the transfer of the relics of the Holy House to Loreto. Finally, the bull "Spes non confundit" by Pope Francis, which called the 2025 Jubilee, is mentioned, emphasizing the theme of hope. In summary, the text traces a common thread from Celestine V's "Perdonanza" to the Jubilee, highlighting the significance of forgiveness and hope in the context of Catholic tradition.
