نص القصة المصورة
- This all ends today and I'm going to make sure every Pope after me will have the chance to govern the church and to lead the church to prosperity.
- Ughhhh I've had enough of this monarch. Its time that the popes should be in charge of the church.
- Ahhhh nice to meet you Pope Gregory VII. These churches are so wonderful.
- I'm going to make sure these rules make it so that Henry won't fight back and I'll show him that the popes are in charge.
- In 1073, a monk named Hildebrand became Pope Gregory VII after a successful career in the Papal Court. He had different ideas when becoming the Pope and he thought that instead of a monarch the Pope should have more power over the monarch with the church. He thought he should be the one who's in charge of the church. He also believed that only the Pope should be the one who had the right to choose bishops.
- By the law of the church I now command you to be excommunicated from this church.
- Pope Gregory VII thought that since he was the Pope he should be in charge of the Church. He thought he should be the one he decided whether a person is a bishop or not. He also that since he was appointed to be the Pope and the Pope was primarily the leader of the church that he should have more power involving the church. There started to be a little bit of conflict between him and Henry IV.
- I command you to leave this town immediately!
- Signed Henry IV. I hope that this paper can show our agreement to not continue our conflicts.
- In around 1075, Pope Gregory made a list of rules declaring his supreme authority over both Church and secular. He asserted that the church was founded by God alone and claimed the power to depose or remove from office, any public official, including bishops and even emperors. Henry IV was stunned that Gregory was claiming the right to remove or add bishops on the spot.
- Signed Gregory VII.I hope that this agreement can make it so we won't argue again.
- Henry obviously stunned, ignored the sudden rules of the pope. In 1076, Henry tried to remove Gregory's role as Pope, but Gregory excommunicated him which mean removing a person from the church. The pope then freed Henry's subjects from their feudal oaths of loyalty to the Emporer.
- Without the support of his subjects, Henry was powerless. Desperate to end his excommunication, Henry visited Pope Gregory VII in an Italian castle. The pope obviously not on his side made in waiting in the snow for three days! Henry later marched his army to Rome and forced the pope from the city. This conflict between monarchs and popes lasted long after both Gregory and Henry died,
- Eventually, in 1122, the Church and the Holy Empire reached an agreement called the Concordat of Worms. This agreement gave the church the sole authority to appoint bishops, but it also allowed emperors to give fiefs, or grants of land, to bishops in order to win their loyalty. Despite this agreement, conflicts between popes and rulers continued.
