Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the rise and evolution of the papacy in the 11th and 12th centuries, a period characterized by the ambition and machinations of the papacy to achieve a supremacy that transcended the secular realm. The author details the historical context for this grand scheme, from the early church's reliance on the Roman Empire for both protection and a model for organization, to the gradual shift in power dynamics that led to the papacy's assertion of a moral and spiritual authority that rivaled that of secular rulers. The book focuses on the life and leadership of Hildebrand, who as Pope Gregory VII, embodied the ideal of papal absolutism, a concept that he strove to translate into reality. His attempts to assert papal authority over the Holy Roman Empire, culminating in the dramatic confrontation at Canossa in 1077, are the heart of the narrative. The book delves into the philosophical and political underpinnings of this concept of papal supremacy. It explores the intricate relationship between the papacy and the monastic orders, particularly the powerful order of Clugny, and highlights the role of the church as a political force in shaping the destiny of Europe. The author illuminates the complex interplay of religious fervor, political strategy, and moral conviction that shaped the papacy's bid for absolute power, leaving readers with a profound understanding of the crucial forces that shaped medieval Europe.
