He excommunicated Henry three times because Henry was getting out of hand and the political struggles between the Catholic Church and his empire. Although, Gregory was also despised during his reign by some for his expansive use of papal powers, this caused his memory to be remembered on numerous occasions in later generations, both good and bad, which was often reflected in writings of the Catholic Church. Gregory was accused of necromancy, torture, attempted assassinations, unjust excommunication,

Al- Hakim bi-Amr Allah destroyed the Church of the Holy Selpulchre in Jerusalem in A.D. 1009, fueling the fire of the Christians and continuing the flame of hatred amongst the Christians toward the Muslims. The papacy thought it to be in their authority to fight the enemy because of the spiritual nature of the aggressor. These

Pope Sixtus II, who took over after St. Stephen in 257, is best known for partaking in one of the most famous pieces of art in Western history, known as Sistine Madonna. Sixtus was having trouble with some African and Asian churches regarding Baptism. He received letters from St. Dionysus of Alexandria, which advised him to remain easygoing and try to disregard the other practices that were taking place. After adhering to his advice, he was referred to as a “good and peaceable priest.” In 257, afraid of many big empires such as the Persians, Valerian allotted his first decree to the Christians.

The papacy – the office held by the pope as head of the Catholic Church - gained great power from the sixth through eighth centuries, and there are several reasons for this surge in influence.

Throughout the years, whenever a policy has seemed outdated or irrelevant in US policy, it has generally been gotten rid of. Slavery, prohibition, and discriminate voting laws were all done away with once people realized that they did not belong in the modern world, but there is still one piece of US policy that has long overstayed its welcome. This piece of policy is the use of the electoral college in our presidential election system. The electoral college is a group of individuals who each cast a direct vote for the president. The way that this works is complicated but essentially it boils down to this. Each state has a number of electoral college votes equal to the number of seats they have in the senate plus the number of seats they have in the House of Representatives for a total of 538 votes. Before each election, each party picks a group of people who they tell to vote for their candidate from each state to be their electors. When a citizen votes for president in November of election years, they are not voting for the president directly. They are voting for which party gets to send its group of electors to cast their vote in the electoral college. These electors then cast their votes in early December, and from those votes a winner is declared. Does it seem convoluted and overly-complicated? That is what I think. So, I say that the electoral college should be abolished because it causes problems in presidential elections, the arguments for the electoral college are
