Did the clash between Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII prove that the pope had greater power than the emperor?
A:The clash between Emperor Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII proved that power can be ephemeral.In 1074, Gregory wrote to Henry reproaching him for his conduct and telling him that like everybody else, he was bound to obey papal decrees. If Henry did not, he would have to suffer the consequences. Henry, furious at such insolence, summoned at Worms a synod of German bishops, who were themselves smarting under Gregory's dictates. The synod denounced Gregory as a usurper of the papacy and accused him of perjury, immorality of various kinds, and abuses of papal authority in the dioceses of Germany. It pronounced Gregory deposed, a sentence confirmed by bishops of Lombardy.A few weeks later, Gregory held a synod in Rome, that excommunicated Henry and all the bishops who had sided with him, released Henry's vassals from their oath of fealty, and declared him deposed. Henry, placed on the defensive and with his throne endangered, had to agree to allow Gregory to come to Augsburg in Germany to settle the affair. Gregory accepted the invitation, set out but had difficulty getting through Lombardy because of the strong sentiment against him.Finding his passage to Germany blocked by the Lombards, Gregory accepted Henry's plea for forgiveness at Canossa, and Henry was able to return and present to his subjects his absolution as the definitive settlement of the affair.Now feeling secure in Germany, Henry marched into Italy with his troops in 1081 and laid siege to Rome. In desperation Gregory appealed to the Normans. Henry's forces withdrew, without giving battle. The Normans had freed the city from the emperor but then looted and burnt at least a third of it. The result was one the worst sacks in the history of Rome, for which the Romans held Gregory responsible. He managed to get out of the city unscathed, though cursed, and made his way to Salerno where the Normans ensured his safety.Gregory was died in exile, defeated and broken in body and spirit. He had briefly wielded more power than the emperor, but at great cost to himself and Rome. John W. O'Malley S.J. (A History of the Popes) says that no pope ever died hated by more people than Gregory VII.
What part did St. Gregory VII play in the rise of the Catholic Church?
St. Gregory VII, also known as Hildebrand, 1073-1085) was an Italian, who succeeded Pope Leo IX and became one of the greatest popes, so much so that the changes in the Church in the eleventh century came to be known as the Gregorian or Hildebrandian Reforms. Pope Gregory VII had problems with Emperor Henry IV, whom he excommunicated and deposed him. Henry went to the Pope in Canossa in Italy where he stood for three days in the snow as a penitent begging absolution, which the Pope granted. Pope Gregory claimed sole authority to summon councils, appoint bishops, canonize saints, and depose emperors, all through the power of the keys. But Henry outsmarted Pope Gregory by asking for pardon - something that Gregory, as a priest of the Church could not refuse, but in absolving him, he deprived his vassals of their grounds for rebellion and restored Henry to a position from which he could threaten the pope. A synod of bishops declared Gregory deposed, and Henry appointed an anti-pope, and Pope Gregory died in exile from Rome with no support even from many of his own cardinals. Nevertheless, he strengthened the Church and the power of the papacy in dealing with princes.
Why did pope Gregory vll and emporer Henry lv vome into conflict?
Pope Gregory VII excommunicated Emperor Henry because of a disagreement on who had the right to appoint church officials. This all started because Gregory issued a decree saying that bishops will no longer be chosen by anyone other than the church. A revolution then rose because Pope Gregory told Henry's vassals that they no longer needed to support or follow him. With no one following him he was forced to apologize however when he attempted to apologize Pope Gregory left Henry standing out in the snow for 3 days. He finally agreed to see him and things returned to normal for a while. Until Henry gained enough support and was strong enough in power that he defied the pope and was again excommunicated however this time he set up a anti-pope and went to Rome where he beseiged Gregory. After 3 years Henry received the crown from his own Pope. Gregory then fled to Salereno where he died. He never removed Henry's ban from the church though. When Henry died it wasnt until 5 years later that the ban was removed and his bones were moved to consecrated ground.
