Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book opens a window into a chapter of history concerning the Catholic Church's evolution in electing and consecrating its bishops, the influence of secular rulers, and ultimately the role of the Pope. The author, an expert on canon law, traces the development of papal influence throughout the centuries, beginning with the early days when local communities played a direct role in selecting their spiritual leaders. As the Church grew in size and complexity, the process of selecting bishops became more formalized, with the Pope assuming a central role in confirming and consecrating those chosen by local chapters. However, the author also sheds light on the ways in which secular rulers, particularly those of the Holy Roman Empire, exerted their own influence on episcopal appointments. The book explores the tensions and conflicts that arose between the Church and secular authorities over the issue of episcopal appointments, and ultimately argues that the tension between local autonomy and papal authority has been a defining feature of the Catholic Church's history.
