In 1606, Pope Paul V clashed with Venice when the republic passed laws limiting Church power and arrested two clergymen. Paul V demanded their release, but Venice refused, so he placed the city under interdict, banning sacraments. Surprisingly, Venice ignored the ban, and clergy—backed by the scholar Paolo Sarpi—continued services. In response, Venice expelled the Jesuits.

After intense diplomatic pressure from France and Spain, the crisis ended with a compromise, but Venice had proven that papal authority was not absolute.

For more details, check out Paolo Sarpi’s History of the Council of Trent or John Julius Norwich’s A History of Venice.
