  3. The Authority of the Church

  4. The scope of Church Authority • The church influenced both spiritual and worldly matters. • Why were there always problems between the Church and State? • Both sides wanted power and neither wanted to share. • Started when Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne Emperor

  5. Church structure was made up of different ranks of clergy. • Pope • Bishop • Priests • How did the Church bond people together throughout the feudal period? • Despite the divisions that feudalism and manorialism created among people the church was able to bond people together with a sense of belonging to a religious community. • Everyone was expected to receive the sacraments and go to heaven.

  6. All medieval Christians were subject to canon law, or Church Law. • Popes used threats of excommunication or interdict to wield power over political rulers.

  7. Involvement in political affairs • The Church resented lay investiture, a ceremony where kings and nobles appointed church leaders. • The Church felt that Bishops should not be under the control of any King.

  8. Cluny Reform Movement • Spiritual movement that swept across Europe around 1000AD • Influenced by Monasteries Popes began to reform the Church • Reforms focused on: • Marriages of village priests • Simony • Lay Investiture

  9. Pope Leo IX bans simony and the marriage of priests • Pope Gregory VII bans Lay-Investiture • Created tension between Gregory and the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV

  10. They came up with a compromise called concordat of worms. • Agreement between the Church and leaders of the Holy Roman Empire that stated only the Church could appoint Bishops, but the Emperor could veto the choice.

  11. Architecture • Romanesque Church (800-1200) • Roof was held up by thick walls and pillars • The thick walls and tiny pillars let in little light

  12. Gothic Church (1100-1500) • Spectacular in size height and design • Emphasized height and light • Used flying buttresses to support the heavy walls and vaulted ceiling • Had many tall pointed spheres • Many stained glass windows • Took 50-100 years to build • Remember: Greek and Roman ideas were kept alive by monks who created manuscripts by recopying literature . • Manuscript literally means handwritten

  13. Closing Why was the Church/religion so important during the Middle Ages?
