Where did the churches power come from?

The Church gained power after the Roman empire fell. For many years, Christians were persecuted by Roman emperors who were strongly opposed to the Church. When the Roman empire was falling, Constantine went into power and allowed Christians to practice their faith openly. Romans turned to the religion to hold on to their many traditions and practices, which is why the Church is heavily influenced by Roman culture. More and more people turned to Christianity during the fall of Rome which allowed the Church to gain the power it needed to survive over many centuries.


How has the decline of the roman empire help the rise of the Catholic church?

The Roman Empire persecuted the Catholic church. When the Roman empire began it's downfall, the Catholic church began to gain more and more power. When the Roman empire finally fell, the Catholic church was the most powerful figure around. Many people seeked help from the church. Monks and Nuns educated the children and poor, hungry people were fed. Just a little clarification. During the Roman empire there was no such thing as the Catholic Church. The religion was simply Christianity. Although initially there were many sects of Christianity, they finally united. It was not until the Protestant Revolt begun by Martin Luther that the denominations of Christianity came into existence, Catholic being one of them.

When did the power of Roman Catholic Church decline?

A:The power of the Catholic Church, both temporally and spiritually, has ebbed and waned throughout history. A high point followed the eighth-century forgery of the Donation of Constantine, which Pope Stephen II successfully used to have lands "restored" to the Church, creating the Papal States. The Church was probably at its weakest when Emperor Charles defeated the army of Pope Clement VII and entered Rome in 1527. Charles seriously considered disbanding the papacy, but was dissuaded, uncertain of the outcome if the Catholic Church found itself leaderless. Charles imposed conditions, including that Clement call a Council to reform the Church, a condition Clement was continually able to postpone until his death. In the longer term, it was the Protestant Reformation that resulted in a decline in the absolute power of the Catholic Church, as it no longer had a monopoly on the beliefs of Christians. It was not until 1965 that the Catholic Church actually recognised this reality, when the Second Vatican Council pronounced the right of all to religious liberty, with the right to worship in whatever way they wished. Almost five hundred years after the time of King Henry VIII and Luther, the Church at last accepted its permanent loss of its previous power..Catholic AnswerFirst of all, there is no "Roman Catholic Church". It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Secondly, the Catholic Church never looked at its "power" as secular power, or the power that you are asking about. Individuals within the Church, no doubt, over the centuries have sought to gain secular power, and at some points in history Bishops and Popes had a lot of secular power, but this has never been the mission of the Church, the Church's power has always been that of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and when she gets away from that, things go awry. In that sense, the Church's "power" cannot decline, only her perceived "power" in the secular world.


How might a wealthy roman view the growth of roman power differently from a slave?

A wealthy Roman might view the growth of Roman power as a means to expand their wealth and influence, potentially leading to increased social status and political power. In contrast, a slave might see the growth of Roman power as reinforcing their own oppression and servitude, with little to gain personally. They might also fear the consequences of more power for their masters, such as harsher treatment or increased exploitation.


What two advantages did Henry VIII gain when he left the Catholic Church?

When Henry VIII left the Catholic Church, he gained significant political and financial advantages. Firstly, he established the Church of England, which allowed him to consolidate religious authority under his control, diminishing the power of the Pope and the Catholic Church in England. Secondly, by seizing church lands and wealth, he significantly increased the crown's revenue, enabling him to fund his military campaigns and strengthen his monarchy.
