Before the election of Pope Gregory VII in 1073 A.D., decentralization within the Church led to secular entanglements in the feudal system while corruption seeped into the Church’s practices. Medieval kings and emperors even exercised control over clerical appointments. This episode covers Pope Gregory’s successful efforts to reassert Papal authority over the universal Church.
