1527 - Following the sack of Rome in this year, the order moved to Venice. But Carafa was recalled to Rome by the reform-minded Pope Paul III (1534–49), to sit on a committee of reform of the papal court, an appointment that forecast an end to a humanist papacy, and a revival of scholasticism, for Carafa was a thorough disciple of Thomas Aquinas.

1555 – His papacy began on the 23rd day of May of this year. Pius IV succeeded him.
