dispute with the papacy Flashcards
causes of the dispute
the pope, john and monks of canterbury all wanted different people to be Bishop of norwich
John disagreed with Pope’s choice- pope did it anyway
J refused to let Langton into england and seized all land from italian clergy, and expelled the monks from canterbury
pop placed england under an interdict
consequences of the interdict
dying couldnt receive mass
sick weren’t anointed
marriages couldn’t take place in church
christian burial forbidden
baptisms could only take place in church behind locked doors
no religious services could take place in church
impact of interdict on everyday life
priests still held services outside the church
some areas completely ignored the interdict and carried on normally
most religious life/ festivals carried on
lack of christian burials was worrying for many people
johns response to the interdict
confiscated property of clergy and kept profits for himself
some monks were arrested and only released if they paid a large fine
overall financially profited a lot
johns excommunication
excommunicated by pope 8 november 1209
people had to choose between the church and king- people resented him for putting them in this position
j seized even more church property and possessions
terms of reconciliation
