In that role, he commissioned Michelangelo to oversee the building of St. Peter's Basilica and paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, excommunicated King Henry VIII of England, approved the decree establishing the order of the Jesuits, and convened the Council of Trent.

Untranslated papal bull issued under Pope Paul III, with his leaden seal (bulla) on its original entwined cords displayed above. Signed by various Church officials, the document concerns the Alley of the Four Holy crowned Angels and the disposition of Sebastino Silvestri of Venice in his devotions to the Church.
