In the year 722, Pope Gregory ordained him as a regional Bishop, and gave him the name of Boniface. Gregory sent him to Hessia and asked Charles Martel to protect Boniface

It depicts two leaders, with one of the leaders refusing to acknowledge the other’s title. What was once an alliance turned into a bitter rivalry.

Pope Gregory VII & Emperor Henry IV: The Investiture Conflict By: Gia Biello The Investiture Conflict was a disagreement between the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor over who was allowed to appoint church officials.

said, “Sooner of later, man has always had to decide whether he worships his own power or the power of God.” In regards to the Crusades, the popes in charge chose to worship their own power – yet they got thousands of Europeans to worship the power of God. The Crusades were a series of campaigns in which Europeans tried to take the Holy Land from the Muslims.

great benefits from friendliness. Charlemange supported and cooperated with the church throughout his reign. In return, the church crowned him Holy Roman Emperor on Christmas day 800.

And when we live in the world with that knowledge, we cannot do other than bring healing, reconciliation, new life, and hope wherever we go.'; Spiritual maturity is essential as the above quote of Henri Nouwen explains and is further defined by St Gregory the Great where he wrote, “That man, therefore, ought by all means to be drawn with cords to be an example of good living…who studies so to live that he may be able to water even dry hearts with the streams of doctrine…'; , for a

The Disinformation Nation Propaganda is a multifaceted term that’s unfortunately been given negative connotations. It is an ancient idea that has existed since ancient times. Propaganda is used in wartime in order to garner support for the military and demoralize enemy troops.
