The Concordat of Worms, established in 1122, resolved the investiture controversy by distinguishing between spiritual and temporal authority. It granted the Pope the exclusive right to appoint bishops and abbots, while the Holy Roman Emperor retained the power to confer secular authority and lands to these church leaders. This agreement aimed to reduce the ongoing conflict between the church and the monarchy over the appointment of church officials.

Concordat of Worms
The Treaty called the Concordat of Worms (1122) gave the church sole power to appoint bishops and abbots in the Holy Roman Empire. It resolved the Investiture Controversy, a power struggle between the papacy and secular rulers over the appointment of church officials.
The Concordat of Worms ended the right of Kings to meddle in the affairs of the Church. It realised the Kings had the right to invest secular power in Bishops, but not sacred power. This stopped the Holy Roman Emperors thought that they had right, granted by God to name who would be Pope. Furthermore, one side effect and long-delayed result was an end to the belief in the divine right of Kings.
The Concordat of Worms, sometimes called the Pactum Calixtinum by papal historians, was an agreement between Pope Calixtus II and Holy Roman Emperor Henry V on September 23, 1122 near the city of Worms. It brought to an end the first phase of the power struggle between the Papacy and the Holy Roman Emperors. The King was recognized as having the right to invest bishops with secular authority ("by the lance") in the territories they governed, but not with sacred authority ("by ring and staff").~DoRtHy~
The Concordat of Worms was a fair compromise because it resolved the Investiture Controversy between the Holy Roman Emperor and the Catholic Church by granting the emperor the right to invest bishops with secular power and the church the authority to invest them with spiritual authority. This division allowed each party to exercise their respective powers without interference from the other.
The Concordat of Worms was an agreement that ended an important controversy between the Church, under Pope Calixtus II, and the Holy Roman Emperor Henry V. The broader power struggle between the Church and monarchs had continued for some time. The agreement was that the Holy Roman Emperor had the right to confer secular authority on bishops, but the Church had the right to confer religious authority.
