The Timeline of Papal Authority: From Constantine to the End of Papal Power

This overview examines the pivotal moments in the history of the papacy, beginning with Emperor Constantine's reign (306-337 AD) and following the timeline leading to the elevation of the Bishop of Rome as head of all churches in 538 AD. Key events such as the captivity of the pope in 1798 and the significant transformations in papal authority through the years, culminating in the 1866 defeat of Austria by Prussia, are highlighted. The concept of 1,260 years, symbolic in biblical prophecy, provides a framework for understanding the evolution of church power and its implications.
