The Crusades would go on for 200 years and by this time the marriage of church and state yielded a great deal of power and persuasion through their…

Once Elizabeth took the throne, Puritans were somewhere at a standstill. While her government did not satisfy them, did not purify the church of its ceremonies and vestments, did not get rid of the bishops and archbishops, but she did defy the pope and made England the mainstay for Protestantism against the catholic church of Spain.

The New Testament provides insight into the debate of female leadership and ordination during the early church movement; a debate that continues now.

For some time the papacy’s home was in France “for nearly seventy years, while still claiming to be bishops of Rome, the popes would generally remain in Avignon”. This contributed to the Great Western Schism, which was a political fight between Italy and France.

Roman Catholicism and Presbyterianism are two religions that people in the world today participate in and live by. Each of them have stemmed from the time of Jesus Christ. Back then there was not a good way to create text to last forever for others to read. When the time came around for the word of the Lord to be recorded— the text was written in a language that not everyone could read or understand. So when things were converted for others, countless stories and preaching’s were translated…

Through out his reign Henry IV instituted the practice of simony, which allowed him to create a faction of loyal clergymen and bishops. Additionally, this practice allowed him to create a loyal political faction that would support him rather than the pope. However, when Pope Gregory implemented his Gregorian reforms that stripped all state appointed bishops and clergymen of their church titles. At this point Pope Gregory was stepping out of the religious field and into the political battleground…

Wycliffe alleged the Bible should to be a common possession to all and needed to be made available for common use of the people, since members of the nobility possessed the Bible in French. Wycliffe made himself accountable to the task. His part in the translation, which was based on the Vulgate, is unknown precisely but there is no question it was his initiative, and his guidance making it a success.

Before Newman was a part of the Oxford movement, he was a very popular priest at Oxford, and he later became a cardinal.…
