How did the Donation of Constantine strengthen the papacy?
A:The forgery known as the Donation of Constantine both strengthened and weakened the papacy. It was used to manipulate political power, to create and control the papal states and to have the papacy accepted as the supreme temporal power in western Europe.It strengthened the papacy by ensuring that popes, from the eighth century onwards, had access to enormous wealth and could live in such luxury that even the most important kings could not match. Before the creation of this forgery, the papacy was at risk of becoming defunct, as there were few clerics interested in taking on such an unrewarding and dangerous position.At the same time, it weakened the papacy by making it no more than a prize to be fought over by the factions and warlords of Italy. Whoever gained the papacy and became pope was expected to shower family and friends with wealth from the Church's enormous income and, for this reason alone, became the focus of bitter rivalry. Russell Chamberlin (The Bad Popes) describes how the Church was spiritually weakened as pope after pope took on the office for personal gain and proceeded to live lives of debauchery and vice.
