Document Summary
The church could provide a sense of stability in times of intra-christian war. This wasn"t possible anymore because of the state of the church. Hostilities broke out between france and the popes. This was in the beginning of the 14th century. French emerged as a more pressing threat than the hre: philip vs boniface. It was a bull defending tax exemption: unam sanctam. He was aided by the powerful house of colonna. He got captured and died a horrible death: avignon papacy. This started with clement v: babylonian captivity. Non french christians decried this as the babylonian captivity of the church. This went back to the relocation of ancient jews to babylon. This was part of the accomplishment of women mystics. Catherine of siena used the voice of christ to criticize the popes: great western schism. The papacy and institutional church in england struck back. Pope gregory ix condemned his teachings: hussities.
