Excerpt from Modern Church History, Vol. 3: From the Reformation to the Close of the Ninetteen Century
From its early history, the Church in France was remarkable for its spirit of independence. Charle magne would not permit the introduction of images, though they were approved by the pope. It was Philip the Fair who opposed the most successful resistance to the arrogant domination of the medi eval popes, and his successors held the papacy in a Babylonian captivity at Avignon for seventy years. In 1594, Pierre Pithon published his Lib erties of the Gallican Church, in which be con tended that the law had always made the French king the head of the Church as to its temporalities, while the pope had supreme spiritual jurisdiction. By his Concordat of 1515, Francis I had abandoned part of these claims, but most French lawyers held that the nation was not bound by his act, which was virtually a betrayal of their liberties.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a historical exploration of the Protestant, Greek, and Roman Catholic branches of Christianity from the reformation to the end of the 19th century. Beginning with a foundational overview of the established power of the Roman Catholic Church, the author details the rationalist and humanist influences that drove the division between Catholics and Protestants during the reformation. The author guides the reader through significant figures and events such as Henry IV of France and the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, which sought to eradicate the Protestant Huguenots from France, and the subsequent Protestant revival. Furthermore, the work explores the foundations of the pietism movement, a German revival that encouraged laymen to participate in practical Christianity and evangelical preaching. Lastly, through the lens of Immanuel Kant and the emergence of rationalism in theology, the author demonstrates the ongoing evolution of Christianity and its focus on moral obligation.
