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.

Also during the Middle Ages, it also produced many great philosophers (Funk & Wagnall’s, 275). From the Middle Ages to the 13th century, the church played important role as authority, influence.

If Charlemange would have repressed or frightened the church, the pope would never have appointed him emperor. Charlemange gave land to his nobles, who provided military services for him, not because they were afraid, but to repay him for the land. He was more successful being loved than he would have been if he was feared
as a preacher and pastor, but decided he wanted to visit the Pope in Rome for mission duties (Duckett 362). Upon his visit to Pope Gregory II, the Pope gave him full authority to preach the gospel to everyone in Germany.

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. The relationship between the popes and the rulers during the Middle Ages were at first
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

When Henry IV became emperor he was young which gave Pope Gregory the opportunity to take advantage of Henry and change the church. As Henry grew up knowing this, he became weary
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. Pope Gregory felt entitled to appoint the church officials, as he had been raised in the church, and felt that the Emperor having the right to do so wouldn’t be fair. Emperor Henry felt that it was his right as emperor to choose bishops and other church officials. The investiture

Her husband wanted to see the angel that guarded her, but Cecilia told him that he would need to be baptized in order to do so. Valerian went to be baptized by Pope Urban, and returned to Cecilia as a Christian. When he returned, he saw Cecilia praying in her bedroom.

Lay investiture was a major problem during the reign of King Henry IV and the papacy of Pope Gregory VII. Up to this point, secular leaders had the power to appoint bishops and abbots in their land, causing a blend between the lines of Church and state. Gregory or “Hildebrand” recognized this dilemma and restricted investiture to the duty of the pope in 1075. Henry IV responded very cruelly and Hildebrand promptly excommunicated him.
