AP European History - The Breakdown of the Church and the Conciliar Movement

WHS World Civ. / AP Euro Podcast by Mr. Bellanti

The Main Questions:

•How did secular rulers challenge papal authority in the 14th and 15th centuries?

•Why did Pope Boniface VIII quarrel with King Philip the Fair? Why was Boniface so impotent in the conflict? How had political conditions changed since the reign of Pope Innocent III in the late twelfth century, and what did that mean for the papacy?

•How did the Church change from 1200 to 1450? What was its response to the growing power of monarchs? How great an influence did the church have on secular events?

•What was the Avignon papacy and why did it occur? How did it affect the papacy? What relationship did it have to the Great Schism? How did the church become divided, and how was it reunited? Why was the conciliar movement a setback for the papacy?

•Why were the kings in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries able to control the church more than the church could control the kings? How did kings attack the church during this period?
