Papal Profiles - The POWERFUL Gregory VII Who Changed Papal History

In 1075, Gregory VII would initiate the #GregorianReforms that would radically transform European Church & State history. Gregory declared that the pope was the universal supreme monarch to whom all other kings must submit, claimed he had the right to depose any king, and had the power to absolve citizens of their allegiance to a mere terrestrial sovereign. The changes that emerged from the reforms became codified in #CanonLaw that would echo across the centuries, enabling the Church to dominate #secular European affairs for centuries.
