Question

50 points =3 In Western Europe, the Church and local governments often competed for power. At various times during the Middle Ages, popes threatened kings and kings threatened popes. Explain how the relationship between religion and government was different in the Byzantine Empire.

Answer 1

Answer:

Popes in the Middle Ages became central figures of power and influence. During this time many people from all walks of life flocked to the Holy Land to see the pope. The overly aggressive religious fanaticism of the popes and the promise of redemption of sin made the popes and the crusades popular.

In effect of this, the Catholic Church soon became the collective, uniting religious institution. Conflicts between church and state eventually weakened the Pope’s power. Also, the end of the feudal system and the Protestant Reformation led to a further weakening of the Pope’s power.
