The Concordat of Worms was an agreement between the Church and the Holy Roman Empire, signed in the City of Worms, in Germany, in 1122. It brought an end to the Investiture Controversy and recognized the right of the Church to appoint its own bishops. It was an important step toward the idea of separation of Church and State, and was an blow to the belief in the divine right of kings.
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.
The concordat or Worms, or Diet of Worms- nothing to do with eating habits, was in Germany. It impacted the Reformation, but had nothing to do with Italy.
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.
