"Liber pastoralis curae" described the role and duty of bishops, and essentially served as a textbook for them for centuries. He issued six decrees, which reformed parts of the Roman Catholic liturgy and which are still observed today. Through his epistles, we also see the extent to which he shaped the Church at that period. A large number of letters relate to his reforms. His took special care over the election of new bishops, and if after examination, he finds him unfitted for the post, he has no hesitation in rejecting him and commanding another to be chosen. With regard to discipline the pope was specially strict in enforcing the Church's laws as to the celibacy of the clergy, the exemption of clerics from lay tribunals, and the deprivation of all ecclesiastics guilty of criminal or scandalous offenses. He was also inflexible with regard to the proper application of church revenues, insisting that others should be as strict as he was in disposing of these funds for their proper ends. In other words, to the best of his ability, he maintained the honesty and religious scrupulousness of the Church. He maintained cordial relations with the Eastern Rite patriarchs, but (through his epistles) strongly supported the idea of papal authority as the head of the Church, an issue that led to the Great Schism in 1054. We are told that "His great claim to remembrance lies in the fact that he is the real father of the medieval papacy....Gregory's work as a theologian and Doctor of the Church is less notable. In the history of dogmatic development he is important as summing up the teaching of the earlier Fathers and consolidating it into a harmonious whole, rather than as introducing new developments, new methods, new solutions of difficult questions. It was precisely because of this that his writings became to a great extent the compendium theologiae or textbook of the Middle Ages, a position for which his work in popularizing his great predecessors fitted him well." |

King Henry interfered with church matters, and the Pope disliked his actions. Then, Pope Gregory interdicted England(to close all churches and ban religious practices) and excommunicated King Henry. King Henry begged in the snow barefoot for three days until Pope Gregory eventually gave up and returned King Henry his power. In my opinion, I think the Pope has more power,since he can excommunicate a king instead of the other way around. |

Robert Guiscard, a Norman lord, came to the rescue of Gregory while Gregory was besieged by Henry IV. However, Guiscard burned down much of Rome in the process of liberating Gregory causing the general populace to rise against both him and his patron. "In 1081 Henry opened the conflict against Gregory in Italy. The latter had now become less powerful, and thirteen cardinals deserted him. Rome surrendered to the German king in 1084, and Gregory thereupon retired into the exile of Sant' Angelo, and refused to entertain Henry's overtures, although the latter promised to hand over Guibert as a prisoner, if the sovereign pontiff would only consent to crown him emperor. Gregory, however, insisted as a necessary preliminary that Henry should appear before a council and do penance. The emperor, while pretending to submit to these terms, tried hard to prevent the meeting of the bishops. A small number however assembled, and, in accordance with their wishes, Gregory again excommunicated Henry. Henry upon receipt of this news again entered Rome on March 21 to see that Guibert of Ravenna be enthroned as Clement III (March 24, 1084). Henry was crowned emperor by his creature, but Robert Guiscard, with whom in the meantime Gregory had formed an alliance, was already marching on the city, and Henry fled towards Civita Castellana. The pope was liberated, but, the people becoming incensed by the excesses of his Norman allies, he was compelled to withdraw to Monte Cassino, and later to the castle of Salerno by the sea, where he died in the following year." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P ope_Gregory_VII#Second_excommu nication_of_Henry "Robert Guiscard is associated with one of the worst sacks suffered by Rome.
