Antipope

In the same way we see another corrupt pope having the same problem when pope John XXIII quoted: “Italians come to ruin most generally in three ways, women, gambling, and farming. My family chose the slowest one.” Just in saying that shows you how easily persuade and corruptible he was. Woman weren't his only downfall being pope, but other corrupted sins such as: Simony. It started when Pope John wanted a third occupation after advancing in his military position and then getting his doctorate being

The Crusades were indeed about power and politics, in terms of its motivations and consequences. Political motivations were significant in shaping the Crusades, as evident from the rivalry for power between the Christians and the Muslims, as well as internally within the Christian world, and the launching of the Crusades by Pope Urban II who harbored political interests in establishing his authority in the Christian world. However, it is wrong to say that the Crusades had nothing to do with religion

The ideological impetus behind this mechanism, specifically the push to centralize and regiment the prosecutorial process, derived from the reformist popes fighting to establish papal supremacy. To be clear, the papal reform movement did not start the process of persecuting heresy; some of Christianity’s first leaders, such as the second-century bishop Irenaeus of Lyons, wrote about heresy and how to combat it. Furthermore, prosecutorial episodes occurred before the election of the first reformist

marble statue of a seated St. John the Evangelist for the cathedral in Florence. Around 1425, I began a partnership with Italian sculptor and architect Michelozzo. WE went to Rome and made several architectural sculptor tombs, including the tomb of Antipope John XXIII and the tomb of Cardinal Brancacci. In 1430 Cosimo de’ Medici assigned me to do another statue of David but this time in bronze. Then in 1443, I was called to the city of Padua by the family of Erasmo da Narni. In 1450, I completed a bronze

In 1527, King Henry VIII of England filed for divorce from his wife, Catherine. As insignificant as this event may seem, it actually marked the beginning of a religious and political reform from the corrupted Roman Catholic Church: the English Reformation. The English Reformation wasn’t the only movement that led to the separation from the Catholic Church, though. The Protestant Reformation, starting only ten years before the English Reformation did, first recognized the corruption of the Catholic

The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries were a particularly dreadful time in Europe. The fourteenth century was so bad it is regularly referred to as the calamitous century. During this timeframe the Hundred Years War between France and England occurred. Additionally, there were major upheavals in the power and structure of the Catholic Church. Finally, the Black Death wiped out an estimated one-third of the population of Western Europe. This Black Death or Bubonic Plague was the primary cause of

during the First Crusade, the Investiture Controversy was a power struggle between Church and state in medieval Europe over whether the Catholic Church or the Holy Roman Empire held the right to appoint church officials and other clerics.[22][23] Antipope Clement III was an alternative pope for most of this period, and Pope Urban spent much of his early pontificate in exile from Rome. The result was intense piety and an increased interest in religious affairs amongst the general population in Catholic

It began in Northern Italy about 1350 right after the Black Death had ravaged the country, killing from a third to half the population. The word Renaissance means rebirth. The word renaissance came from the french. Renaissance ideas that developed in Italy gradually spread to western and

The early and medieval years of the papacy consisted of numerous strategic, political tactics that increased the authority of the papacy, and ultimately led to the Protestant reformation. As stated by George Weigel, in Papacy and Power, “Popes have been ‘players’ in the world since at least the fifteenth century pontificate of pope Leo the Great.” Weigel was precise, the political role of the pope has been in place since 440 A.D. and significantly increased following the sack of Rome. As stated

Queen Matilda of England brought to the marriage table a dowry of estates. While, she did not grant William great wealth, she did possess great wealth of her own. Roughly one fourth of the wealth of Matilda and William belonged to Matilda. She presented her husband with the ship the Mora as a symbol of her approval of his conquest of England. Matilda, being well educated and capable, served as regent of Normandy while her husband was away in England. Matilda made the journey to England in 1068
