Local bishops had more power • 1049 marked the beginning of powerful popes • Leo IX was the first to try and reform the church • He went around Europe to find and excommunicate bishops that were committing simony which was the buying and selling of church offices • Through this act he started the precedent that the Pope had more of a governing power • Many kings disliked Pope Leo IX for taking power and excommunicating from the bishops and the patriarch • This caused a spilt in the church. Those who sided with the Pope became Roman Catholic and those who agreed with the bishops and patriarch became orthodox

  5. 13.5-Growth of Papal Power • Conflicts over Bishops • There was a conflict between who was able to choose the bishops and religious leaders • Kings typically appointed bishops and clergy but the pope felt it was the church’s right • In the late 1000’s People Gregory VII disagreed with King Henry IV (Holy Roman Emperor) choice of bishop over Milan. Pope Gregory removed the bishop. King Henry wrote a letter the Pope telling him he did not have the authority to remove Bishops. In response the Pope excommunicated the King and suggested he be removed from the throne. In fear of loosing his throne King Henry apologized. This began the age of the Pope becoming one of the strongest figures in Europe.
