Presentation transcript:

The Decline of Church Power During the 14th century the power of the church began to decline. European kings, who were gaining power, were no longer willing to accept the idea of Papal supremacy over them. One of these conflicts was between Pope Boniface VIII and King Philip IV of France.

King Philip IV believed he should be able to tax the clergy. Pope Boniface VIII said that he could not. Philip IV refused to accept the Pope’s authority and sent his troops to Italy to bring him to France to stand trial. The Pope escaped, but died shortly after leaving the office of Pope open for election . . .

The Great Schism/Avignon Papacy During the conclave, Philip arranged for the election of a French Pope. The Papacy then moved to Avignon, France, where it remained from 1305-1377. A later Pope, Gregory XI, returned the Papacy to Rome, but died soon after the move.

The cardinals insisted on the election of an Italian Pope, Pope Urban VI. Five months later, the French cardinals declared the election of that Pope invalid and elected their own, Clement VII. Now Europe had TWO Popes. This created a lot of problems, the Pope was the head of the Church and people were uncertain as to which Pope they should follow. The French and their allies supported the French Pope. England and the Holy Roman Empire supported the Italian Pope. The two Pope excommunicated each other and there was chaos within the Church.

The Council of Constance Church cardinals called a Church council at Pisa and tried electing a new Pope and then there were three! The Holy Roman Emperor finally called the Council of Constance to resolve the Great Schism. The two Popes were deposed, the third resigned and a new Pope was elected.

Attempts at Church Reform All of this corruption and chaos within the Church made some want to reform the Church. In England John Wycliffe made arguments that salvation came from faith and not from the Church itself. He and his followers translated part of the Bible into English. His reforms helped to lay the foundations for later change, but were unsuccessful at the time.

Jan Hus Wycliffe's teachings may have influenced a Czech reformer by the name of Jan Hus. Hus acted upon the ideas of Church reform. He spoke out against corrupt church practices. He was invited to the Council of Constance where he had been told he would be safe, but was burned has a heretic.
