  10. Power of the Church Textbook section 15.5

  11. Religion in the Middle Ages • Pope head of Roman Catholic Church • Became a strong political figure in Middle Ages • Religion touched all aspects of life (unifying agent) • Influence of church increases dramatically around 1000 • Great upwelling in piety (devotion to church)

  12. Growth of Papal Power • Popes had little authority in 900s and 1000s • Not well regarded • Few popes devoted to religion • Many believed that church had become corrupt • Called for reform • Popes began excommunicating bad bishops • No greater punishment (HELL) • Leo IX seen as great reformer, strong pope • Excommunicated patriarch of Constantinople in 1054 • Led to Great Schism • Popes began to gain political and economic influence

  13. Conflict over Bishops • Kings chose most of the bishops who served in their lands • Reform popes thought that clergy (church leaders) alone should choose religious officials • Pope Gregory VII vs. Emperor Henry IV • Henry chose bishop that Gregory didn’t like, removed him • Henry threatened Gregory, Gregory excommunicated Henry • Henry apologized, Gregory forgave, continued to fight over bishops

  14. How did Gregory’s and Henry’s views of the papacy differ? How did each man’s view relate to his own position?

  15. Changes in Monasticism • Monasticism began to lose a lot of its discipline • Became more political, less religious • Monks in Cluny, France began to choose their own abbot (monastery leader) and return to strict Benedictine rule • Cistercian monks even stricter • Lived like hermits

  16. Feudalism and Manorial system • Complete the walk-around from Friday • When you’re finished, write a letter to King John of England as though you were one of his advisors. In your letter, you must advise him either to accept or reject Magna Carta. Remember to use logical reasons to support your position.
