okay so I was looking for ideas for the Orthodox apologetics channel and I asked
0:05
some young people I got a very interesting question which kind of shows the state of our history books
and
0:11
surveys of world religion I was asked why did the Orthodox Church leave the Roman Catholic Church
well
0:18
obviously we didn't the Orthodox Church was established by Christ you know from history that five
patriarch ins of Rome
0:23
Constantinople Antioch Alexandria Jerusalem existed from the beginning along with other patriarch
kids
0:29
throughout the West and the way we normally hear the story it's our only gradually estranged over the
centuries
0:34
and became the Roman Catholic Church and we were the Orthodox Catholic Church and with the head
15th war was just a
0:39
historical marker with both sides accusing the other of
0:49
[Music]
1:02
you [Music]
1:10
I want to get you into the right frame of mind for this so I'm going to buy talking about a man named
Joseph Julian
1:15
over back over back was a Roman Catholic priest who at the time of the first Vatican Council eighteen
hundred's the
1:22
late 18-hundreds joining the Orthodox Church along with many others such as advocate a another
rather well-known
1:32
people at the time so many others joined he went down married and he began
1:37
writing about the restoration of the Western Orthodox Church his work
1:42
survives today in the many Western right Orthodox parishes that are exist
1:51
throughout the world see lots of them and you can see locally what is a
1:56
Western Orthodox well before the sysm of 1054 east and west were actually one
2:04
church uh there were citizens and splits as there always have been throughout history now most
common histories will tell you
2:12
that the Church of Spain was six hundreds introduced and in terms of the creed Filioque that the east
condemned
2:18
that's not actually correct because we live down a narrow we can look at digitized versions of ancient
2:24
manuscripts and we know now that the Filioque was most basically the most the best textual analysis
you can give is
2:33
that was an interpolation of German Providence in the 8th to 9th century further we know that popes
condemned
2:38
this use and its uses such as leo the 3rd what we also know about this period is that it was one in which
a lot of
2:45
medieval forgeries were created such as a pseudo isidori in two cradles remember that one pseudo is a
Dorian and
2:52
Katrina's this is where it starts to get interesting so let's talk about the 11th century so we can discover
who invented
2:58
the Roman Catholic Church when we start
3:03
at the 11th century we find that there's a challenge between partisans of the Roman Emperor and
Byzantium who made it
3:10
made up much of the city of world and partisans of the Holy Roman Empire's emperors who were
basically based out of
3:17
the Carolinian line - our limit and in most cases they
3:23
occupy you know France and Germany but both sides were attempting to establish dominance
throughout the Roman and
3:29
Italian provinces um keep in mind these are worth about scopes not great Pope's in many cases but they
were the leaders
3:37
of the Christian Church I'm going to anti pope boniface the seventh then we're going to read a little bit
about
3:43
this guy Jesus he's just a good example he's listed as an anti poll that he was a Pope um just to give you
an idea of
3:51
how things went I'll just read from the wiki little is known of the reign of Boniface the
3:57
seventh however on July 20th 1957 he died it was it is possible he was
4:03
murdered but could not be confirmed by any milled sources it is clear there was certainly a sense from
the public of disgust at his reign and as his body was
4:09
dragged through the streets tripped maintenance what was left beneath Marcus Aurelius and statue in
front of Lateran
4:14
Palace there were undoubtedly many atrocities that Boniface committed in the eleven months he was in
power 984 95
4:21
most of which were probably acts of revenge due to his previous exile it is obvious he had become a
stranger to the
4:27
Roman people and most likely even become an inconvenience to his own followers he was referred to
as Mallett Thaddeus
4:32
instead of bona fide he has a horrendous monstrum by many showing the turn of feelings the people of
world's Manhattan
4:38
had had the nationalist faction previously had headed by pretentious remember that I mean because the
4:43
percentages may play a great role in this and now headed by his Holmes used his two sons that had
helped him rise to
4:49
the papal status was now no not so much Byzantine as it was national Roman they lightly overthrew
Boniface and he
4:55
seventh in the hopes of seizing control of over whole world Rome after us reign spanning 11 years in
5:01
which he overthrew two popes allowing both to die in castle st. angelo Boniface the seventh was finally
dead
5:07
the following morning compassionate clerics removed the corpse and gave the Christian podium
unfortunately that is
5:13
illustrative of a lot of this period you find popes you find anti-popes we'll go
5:20
to the next one now we go to John the 16th 9:45 to 1001 he's listed as an antipope
5:29
again it's it's difficult to say who's an auntie he was recognized as a hope that he's no
5:35
longer Pope he was a Greek native he was a chaplain of Empress theophany uh and
5:41
Alya was wife of the Holy Roman Emperor out of the second so he was able to he had some authority
with the Roman with
5:49
the Holy Roman Empire but Chrisann she is too violently unseated Gregory no
5:54
Gregory the fifth and then what Pope John the sixteenth in charge a senator the Western bishops held in
997 in the
6:01
imperial capital city in pavia decided in Gregory the offensive favor and excommunicated John so you
see there's
6:07
this back and forth that you see going on occasionally then they tortured then
6:12
tortured uh John League sixteenth and chopped off his nose and ears cut off his tongue and broke his
fingers and
6:19
blinded him that he might write and publicly degraded him before on the third and Gregory was hit by
the horse to ride through the streets of Rome
6:25
seated backwards on a donkey at the intersection of st. Louis a younger one of his countrymen his life
was spared he
6:31
was sent to the monastery of falta Germany where he died about 1000 and 100
6:36
Johnston said to be enthroned his Pope against the claims of Gregory can be seen as a manipulation of
the constant
6:42
political struggle struggles by the Roman all the nobles against Frankish power accruing to the
advantage Byzantine influence widening against
6:49
widening the Frankish power in Rome where Gregory was the first procurement pontiff because John
was not recognized
6:55
by the Western bishops will say some Western bishops as the legitimate Pope's the next three Pope's
named John John
7:00
the 17th 18th and 19th took the regnal numbers 16th 17th and 18th but some
7:05
historians of the Middle Ages changed their names including antic hopeful gothis among the Pope's and
wrongly corrected sequencing was never corrected
7:12
so we're starting to see here that there is a problem in the succession of the papacy we're starting to see
that these
7:19
two sides these two factions are fighting it out and it's getting weirder and weirder so now we're finally
hitting
7:25
you know the next set the next century and so we get to Gregory and this is an
7:30
T Pope Gregory 6th and he basically got shut down and he wanted the supporter of
7:36
Emperor Henry the second and so he was like he was just out so you find that
7:42
there's a lot of chaos in this period which is you know this is basically where you know you have the
sort of chaos in
7:51
the West that is that leads right into the period of the Great Schism I'm not
8:01
going to spend too much time going through going through these because
8:06
basically what we're gonna do is we're just gonna you know survey these folks they're still Orthodox
bumps this one
8:13
was a grandson of the Holy Roman Empire that was his and there were fights over
8:19
that so we go to the next one so nestor ii you look at him this is he was the
8:25
french pope he was famous people thought it was a sorcerer we're gonna skip him and then we have
this pope john the
8:31
seventeenth and he was picked by chris said she is a little surprised we're gonna keep seeing this back-
and-forth
8:37
going on for a little bit it's gonna continue on as we go forward and this was pope john the eighteenth
then once
8:43
again all his influence to the election of powers and christianity plan so we you know put your sanity
clan excuse me
8:50
and so during his whole front of it he pontificate he was allegedly supporting it to the head of the chris
entity who
8:56
controlled womb and the Patricius and aristocratic military leader john pretentious lothario so we
continue on
9:03
this is where it starts to get interesting oh well not this guy he was
9:08
just Peter Martin pigs no okay he wasn't that interested I take that back so we continue on because
we're still not
9:15
finding too much interesting these are still worth lots of hopes not great hopes but then me continue on
Benedict
9:23
the eighth no this was this is where things start to get interesting um he
9:31
was you know opposed by Nanticoke he was restored by henry ii of germany who was crowned holy
roman emperor on ten
9:37
fourteen and he remained on good terms with henry the Saracens begin to attack that this is going to
become a constant
9:44
thing to the Saracens and different Muslim groupings attacking both Rome and Constantinople the
Normans began to
9:51
settle in Italy remember that it's going to become very interesting the Pope promoted peace in Italy by
align align
9:59
himself with the north and it's act by the way around in this period actually um where the what about
10:07
he convinced the emperor to lead an expedition to the south of Italy in supporting his fascist wit
defected to Greek authority this is by the way the
10:13
first time we start seeing the Filioque added into the tip ticks of Rome did
10:19
that is so is Benedict the eighth the inventor from causes no he's not
10:25
we're gonna get there so this is however the first period where I'm introduced in
10:31
the Filioque the the Greek churches Pro Communion and that's why he went into
10:36
the south of Italy to get those Greek parishes this is where it starts getting interesting and where we
start seeing
10:43
Frankish influence come in and the major flip that leads to the inventor of the Roman Catholic Church
okay so now we're
10:51
looking at the life here of judging by Pope John the 19th he was the vote from
10:57
1024 to 1032 this is where it starts getting interesting um is he the
11:03
inventor of the Roman Catholic Church no we look at John the 19th and we see that
11:09
he played a role in the process leading to the system of 1054 by rejecting a proposed by patriarch
Eustatius of
11:14
Constantinople to recognize that house record sphere of interest in the east against the grain of
ecclesiastical
11:20
history it's not really against the grain of ecclesiastical history John the 19th agreed upon being paid a
large
11:26
bribe to recognize the patriarch of Constantinople splain to the title of ecumenical bishop however this
proposal
11:31
the excited general indignation throughout the church compelling them almost immediately to
withdraw from the agreement putting aside the slam here on
11:38
patriarchy status of Constantinople what we will um but we will know here is
11:44
that this is uh basically the beginning of the end and what I mean by that is that we're already seeing
sysm taking
11:51
place because of the introduction of the Filioque but it's still resolvable in
11:57
other words the Pope is still most likely an Orthodox Pope there's no little doubt of that and we're still
12:04
seeing a whole bunch of fighting on April 27 it's April 6 10 27 John held a
12:09
ladder and said in which he declared from the patriarch who act lay against the patriarch of grado did
you know there were Western Patriots
12:15
considered out giving its Bishop Papa Apple ale the patriarchal dignity and putting the Bishop of grotto
under his
12:21
jurisdiction in fact the Patrick took precedence over all Italian bishops in 1029 John revoked
12:26
his decisions and reaffirmed all the dignities of grotto John also enacted a people Poland alan is aunty
as
12:32
Archbishop of Bari with the right to consecrate his own 12th suffrage ins after the reattachment of the
barrier
12:38
diocese to roman 725 this was part of a conciliatory agreement was he so sassy asst whereby the
existence of the
12:44
Byzantine Rite would be allowed in Italy in exchange for the establishment of Latin light churches in
Constantinople
12:49
Pope John the 19th took the Abbey of Cluny under his protection remember Clooney there get
interesting
12:55
to you and renewed its privileges in spite of the protests of gosselin bishop of mason he offered a deal
of Cluny the
13:01
archbishop rico for the leones but luckily refused and the pope i try to go to a deal Oh for disobedience
John the
13:07
nineteen died shortly during the nineteenth died shortly thereafter in a successor Benedict the night did
not press on that already further he was
13:14
said to have been killed by a mob of angry peasants but there are no evidence to support this the actual
cause of death is unknown usually when they say
13:20
things like there's no evidence to support this but they're referring to you is that historical writers of the
time chroniclers often recall recounted
13:28
some of these historical events but in terms of revisionist cleanup then people start saying well maybe
he was just
13:34
lying now why would they do that we're about to find out let's continue so we
13:43
get to Pope Benedict the 19th time demmick the ninth excuse me and thus
13:50
basically we're looking here well then I think the knife has an extra go this is the Pope that came back
three times the
13:57
this guy Benedict the knife was considered such an awful Pope that they
14:02
kicked him out of the city twice oh you know basically that we look here his life was incredibly
scandalous basically
14:09
there's arguments say he was a whoremonger he was gay and so forth Pope Victor the third mr. book of
14:16
dialogues refer to his rapes murders and unspeakable acts of violence and sodomy his life is a pope was
so vile so foul
14:22
so executable that I shudder to think of it he was briefly forced out of Rome within
14:29
1036 but with the help of emperor conrad ii would expel the bishops of piacenza
14:34
and Cremona from their seized bishop bento of Piacenza he's been addicted quote many while
adulteries and murders
14:40
in September 1044 Opposition of Benedict denies dissolute lifestyle forced him out of the city again
and elected John
14:46
Bishop of Sabinas Pope Sylvester in the third Benedict the Knights forces returned via in the April 45 a
1045 and
14:53
he expelled his right old rival so he basically kicked out one pole put himself back in um then he
decided you
14:59
want to get married he decided to abdicate and consulted his Godfather the pious priest John creation
about the
15:04
possibility of resigning he offered to come up to the papacy into the hands of his Godfather he would
reimburse him for the election expenses he was literally
15:10
selling the papacy to somebody else and so you know the priest was like yeah
15:15
okay I'll do it he became Gregory the sixth uh many returned to regretted his resignation
15:21
and returned to Rome taking the city remaining on the throne until 10:40 on July 10 46 although
Gregory the six
15:28
continued to be recognized at the truth of the true Pope that's the same time Sylvester the third also
reasserted his
15:33
claim so Sylvester the third if we are to oh there was peals of hope here from
15:42
til 10 10:45 and then he was considered to be an anti Pope Sylvester continues
15:48
to be listed as an official Pope and Vatican lists a similar situation applies to Gregory the 6th 10:45 to
1046
15:56
as Pontifical name was used again by anty anty both Theodoric because at the time he was not yet
considered illegitimate pontiff so we continue on
16:03
so you can see right at this time of the sysm in areas again for a third term oh
16:09
wait did that wrong basically by now the
16:14
succession has become a massive mess there's chaos source ISM and it's
16:22
getting messy here so this this Pope Damasus ii was like pope for like 5 months he doesn't count so he
just did
16:28
him and ok so then we get to Leo the Knights you get to the Pope that was
16:36
raining at the time of the season and so he was a German Pope a little
16:42
ruler so we'll just read the whole thing he was born to count human hell wig and was a native of
eggshell uh process
16:48
president sale sauce France his family was of noble rank his father count Hugh was an M cousin of
Emperor conrad ii you
16:55
will find basically that if they weren't it put him by the croissant ii they were basically home and holy
roman empire its family members he was educated at at
17:02
toll where he be so excessively became canon and in 1026 bishop in the latter capacity he rendered
important political
17:08
services to his relative conrad ii and afterwards tm4 Headley the third he's
17:14
widely known as an earnest and reforming ecclesiastic but it by the seal he showed in spreading the
rule of the
17:19
order of cluding now this is where it gets interesting on the death of Pope Damasus and 10380 una was
selected as a
17:25
successor vite Assembly of warms in December both the Emperor worldA delegates concurred
however Bruno apparently
17:32
favored a canonical election and stipulated as a condition of his acceptance that he should first proceed
to Rome and be freely elected by the
17:38
voice of the clergy people of Rome setting out shortly after Christmas he met with Abbott Abbott Hugh
a foodie
17:45
a peasant souls where he was joined by the young monk Hildebrand who afterwards became Pope
Gregory the seventh remember
17:52
that day of Hildebrand arriving the pilgrim garment garment room in the following February he was
received with much cordiality and his
17:59
consecration assumed the name wheel the ninth Leo the ninth favorite traditional morality in his
Reformation of the
18:05
Catholic Church one of his first public acts was to hold the well-known Easter Senate of 1049 at which
the celibacy of
18:12
the clergy down to the rank of subdeacon was required a new think about that for
18:17
a second before 1049 married priests existed in the Roman Church everywhere
18:24
all over the West they were all over the West just like the Orthodox priests married
18:30
with kids totally normal was accepted there were attempts to enforce clerical celibacy
18:37
unless that did happen many over many centuries but it never really got
18:42
enforced and here it was sorta enforced but it was piece by piece
18:48
you know also the Easter over the Pope at least succeeded in making clear his own convictions against
every kind of simony the greater part of the year
18:54
that followed was occupying those one of those progresses through Italy Germany and France which
formed a mark feature
19:00
in lille the night's pontificate after presiding over a synod of Pavia he joined Henry the third and Sachs
and
19:05
even accompanied him to Cologne and Achin he also summoned a meeting of the higher clergy RINs
which several important
19:10
reforming decrees were passed at mains he held accounts on which the Italian of French as well
German as well as German
19:16
clergy were represented and ambassadors of the Cree controller present here's cemani and knowledge
of the clergy
19:21
whether Pirlo principle matters dealt with so keep in mind this is where we first have a pope who is
moving from
19:28
place to place holding Senate's in getting rid of Mary clergy so very interesting they called it Nicolay
19:34
schism which is an insult to every married cleric basically the nickel
19:40
Asian sysm in the first century was effectively where the marry Deacon Nikolas apparently gave up his
wife to
19:48
adultery and I mean he basically became o'clock and you know that's that's what he and he basically
said everyone should
19:55
be a and it was awful but that was exactly what he was doing so to say okay
20:00
all you married priests reticulation is like a slap in the face so obviously a lot of people are going to like
that and
20:06
what we find here is that this is the beginning of the period where Emperor um where let me see your
hold on because at
20:14
this point he was selected as Emperor
20:19
that Henry the third and we're gonna get to Henry the third and that is going to
20:26
be when the story of who invented Roman Catholicism begins so who was Henry the
20:34
third Holy Roman Emperor Emperor from 1016 to ten fifteen to ten fifty six off
20:39
also called the black or the pious was a member of the salient dynasty of the Holy Roman emperors
now one thing to
20:45
keep in mind is that the Holy Roman Empire was Filioque list most of the
20:50
West was not for the Opus but most the Holy Roman Empire was and so what we find here is that
everywhere that Henry
20:57
the third goes and he's really eat is really everywhere he basically he
21:04
takes over and he would do like he to add a whole bunch of you know he'd add you know Filioque
West churches he rated
21:10
hungry sent rating parties into Swabia that he got they convene the council
21:16
princess at which he received his first recognition from Italy um he was
21:22
recognized by aribert Archbishop of Milan with me it's important supported against his father uh this
you know this
21:30
healed the only hope in more than the M word in the Empire he that went to he
21:36
attempted to raid Bavaria hungry and so he continued this process and throughout
21:44
this time the Pope's the Pope was going with him and you see that he's was also establishing this new
rule um and so the
21:52
Emperor basically was he was doing all sorts of things and people he was taking out bishops and they
were taking out
22:00
bishops here and there you know removing other ones and it didn't you know what's
22:05
going alongside with a lot of the military campaigns at the time so what you see here is that Henry the
third
22:13
becomes the first emperor to begin consolidating the power of the Holy
22:21
Roman Empire as well as he can along with the power of the papacy that he
22:26
selected now what's when we see here is
22:32
that there is further attempts to uh to
22:37
stop what was what was happening this this creation of this sort of Frankish
22:46
ecclesiological civil system but it was felt basically the same thing as the
22:54
Roman system where it was just a different set of nobles who had taken over the papacy the Filioque
was a
23:00
problem and it was being introduced or was being introduced up people did not like it the married
clergy thing the
23:07
married clergy had to be kicked out and that was a problem you had lots and lots of married clergy
protesting and so of
23:12
course that we're supporting riots again against Henry the third this because
23:18
this continues on because as you know this Emperor's chose the bishops this is the basic thing that
continues on and so
23:27
Henry the third basically set up what would become the territory of the papal
23:35
States he began the process of consolidating there's these new beliefs
23:42
into a system but it wasn't him who started the system while he was alive
23:51
for it thus ism was to start if we go back real
23:58
quick to hopefully other 9th and we will see that in 1054 before the patriarch
24:08
you know the furnace is work so let's just read and it says in honourable
24:14
captivity until he acknowledged the Normans conquest in calabria and Apulia the Pope was held
hostage
24:20
so the Normans had come at conquered Calabria napoleon he did not want to survive this return to
Rome where he
24:26
died in the 19th of April 1054 Leo sent a letter of Michael Carroll to Michael
24:32
Carroll arias of patriarch of Constantinople in 1054 that cited a large portion of the donation of
24:38
Constantine believing it to be genuine the official status of this letter is acknowledging the 1913
Catholic
24:44
Encyclopedia the first pope who used an official act to allied upon it was in the other ninth and a letter
of 1054
24:49
Michael Carroll heiress patriarch of Constantinople he cites the donation of the donation of the Holy
See possess
24:55
both an earthly and heavenly Imperium the royal priesthood and this is where
25:02
those pseudo is a doriel de cretes is adoring two cradles one of which was the
25:07
donation of Constantine come into play this medieval forgery would be used to
25:14
supply the idea that the basically the
25:20
structure of the church is a pyramid and so they would have basically it was the
25:26
end was that every place had a primate and the Pope was the private over all the other primates now the
reason the
25:32
donation will constitute he was originally written was to keep emperors from trying to meddle in the
affairs of
25:37
Rahl so that was the reason the forgery was created but this is the first time somebody starts believing
the hype they
25:43
start actually saying well you know that we do have this donation of you know Constantine which they
believed came from the 4th century that Constantine
25:50
handed them all this stuff which they didn't but in the background was a young
25:57
monk then Hildebrandt and that is the
26:03
most important need to remember in all this because much as we want to say Leo the ninth might have
been the guy who
26:08
founded the Roman Catholic Church he didn't okay so basically what I had to
26:16
do on this part in discussing uh discussing Hildebrandt of sivanna is I
26:23
had to copy and paste of the Britannica article so you can look it up or tanyka confer sicom for st.
gregory the 7th mm
26:32
honestly neither a saint or a pope as we're going to use discovered shortly
26:37
basically uh let's we can just go through he's most famous for basically investiture controversy which
has been
26:44
very interesting he lent his name to the 11th century movement now known as the Gregorian reform or
investiture
26:50
controversy Gregory the 7th was the first pope to depose a crowned ruler Emperor Henry the fourth
that's after
26:57
Henry the third now remember how do we the 3rd had done all the work in putting together a unified
papal state but it
27:04
wasn't until Hildebrand that everything all the fun really starts basically uh
27:09
he was born in 1025 probably in southern Tuscany so we're not for middle-class families with possible
connections to Rome you're all growing up in the Roman
27:17
Church other special protection of st. Peter Prince of the apostle's and you know basically let's see here
27:24
that says Hildebrand served as one of his one of the chaplains of Pope Gregory and he's six and
accompanied him into exile in Cologne after the Pope and had
27:31
been deposed for cemani at the Council of see tree in December 1046 grant Ian
27:36
or likely his supporters allegedly used Brad's disappearance election hildebrand completed his studies

- the company infernal of tulle traditionally historians assume Hildebrand was a month in any case he
27:55
was awarded with the embassy of a monastery later um but it's it seems
28:01
unlikely to Hildebrand was a monk of the same country Canada monk is significant because the reform
undertaken by the regular canons was in the vanguard of a
28:07
closed ecclesiastical revival that sought to restore reformed we should say the glory and austerity of
28:15
the early Christian church as pictured by churchmen in the 11th century these ideas deeply influenced
Gregory's
28:21
worldview after Hildebrandt's returned to Rome in 1049 although he had not yet reached the age of
thirty required for
28:27
the priesthood became a collaborator of Pope Leo the ninth ordained him subdeacon and named him
rector of the Benedictine abbey except Paul for and
28:34
were in 1050 held a brand revered Leo like a father and Lea will later distinguish his protege by
rewarding the
28:40
unusual title of the Cardinal subdeacon signifying Hildebrandt's closeness to the Holy See and you
know he gets more
28:47
Awards he becomes a leading figure out the paper before port in the fall of 1058 Hildebrand was been
Archdeacon of
28:54
the Roman Church and was characterized by Peter Damian as an unmovable column of the Apostolic
See as an Archdeacon he
29:01
was a chief participant in the first papal coronation with a crown mitre which symbolized the papal
played to
29:07
sovereignty over the church and the secular monarchies the theory under girding this aspect of the
ceremony was
29:12
that of the forged donation of Constantine an 8th century document that figured prominently in the new
canonical
29:18
collections that were compiled at that time enrollment elsewhere the document Lane the Kant's the
constantine granted
29:23
some folks spiritual authority over the church then temporary dominion over the West Roman Empire
in his new position
29:29
Hildebrand actively furthered the papal alliance with the Normans of southern Italy remember I told
you remember the
29:35
Normans this is why and their principal leaders including Rodrigues guard who became a papal vassal
telegram supported
29:42
William the Conqueror's invasion of England in 1066 and because of his obligations as Archdeacon
also included
29:48
Jersey traditional judicial and financial G's he began to build up armed groups of people supporters
know
29:54
the militia of saint-pierre at Latin nuit des Petre at the time he was most sympathetic towards the
reform efforts
30:00
of the pattering 'he's one of the factions among the citizens so as one of the factions among the citizens
of Milan was known this group fought against M&E
30:07
and clerical marriage to vices that the reformers believed occurred frequently
30:13
among the higher clergy of the city of Milan because the higher clergy of the city were closely related
to the leading
30:18
noble families governing Milan the patterning zop rising took on social revolutionary overtones as well
30:24
Hildebrand all such a side of the Herman McDermott monks of Llewellyn bronze O'Brien righted
against the Bishop of
30:29
Florence when they accused of cemani we can start seeing that hell Duran is sticking sticking his
fingers into
30:36
different areas he's slowly moving in the direction of you know consolidating
30:42
what Henry the third had begun but Henry the third was still an emperor making
30:47
Pope's that still do it still the system that existed and Hildebrand is about to
30:54
change that very very quietly well not too quietly quite loudly but tumultuous
31:02
crowd of Roman citizens and clergy raised hold it right to the papacy during the funeral solemnities for
Pope Alexander the twenty on the April 22nd
31:09
1073 he was enthroned immediately in the basilica of san pietro we call e even
31:15
though he wasn't ordained a priest until June 29th get that this guy not only had
31:20
armed supporters he had like you know basically crowds that he could call up
31:25
armed he was made Pope before he was made a priest think about that
31:33
hello Bert Hildebrand Zilla elevation by the combination of the citizens and clergy was a hostile
reaction to the
31:39
reordering of the papal election world at the 10:59 Lateran council which had given the Cardinal
bishops the leading
31:44
voice of papal elections the Roman people in clergy had been disenfranchised by the hora which thus
ended the domination of the papacy by
31:50
the wrath by the rat various Roman factions you would think Hildebrandt
31:59
election however follow the ancient rules that had been predominantly upheld permanently upheld in
the canonical collection of the aesthetic carnal
32:06
priestess Afghans from Ben Coley um held ranch up the name Gregory and memory of Gregory the
32:12
führer's writings greatly influenced him Gregory the seventh interpreted his election as a special call by
God to
32:19
continue unhesitatingly the fight for what he described as you Ste Tia justice meaning
32:25
of the restoration well to what Gregory and his collaborators saw as its proper
32:31
place in the world order indeed they attended to revive the church's ancient splendor and unquestioned
leadership has instituted
32:38
by Christ when he founded the church on the rock that was Saint Peter keep this in mind this was a new
idea this was an
32:45
idea that was getting popular and Gregory believed it fully Gregory was
32:51
convinced that the Pope was the living successor and representative of st. Peter because of this link the
Pope and
32:57
he alone would always remain a true Christian never deviating from the faith and always cognizant of
the will of God
33:03
therefore all Christians owed him absolute none questioned obedience disobedience was regarded as
heresy and
33:10
obedience to God became obedience to the papacy and with that let's take a look
33:17
at what Gregory instituted the document
33:22
you're looking at on the screen right now is called the dick tates Popeye or the papal dictates this post
dates his
33:30
first Synod meeting or where it was a Lenten Synod meaning or a number of bishops began to protest
his papacy the
33:38
dick tantas papaya is interesting because it was 27 beliefs or dictates
33:43
that the Pope now holds we'll go through them the Roman Church was founded solely
33:49
by God only the Pope can with right be called universal he alone can depose her
33:54
reinstate bishops all bishops below is legged and council even a lower grade can pass sentence or
deposition against
34:01
them the Pope made opposed the absent by the way a lot of these things are actually in the canons of
the church um
34:07
they're actually quite they're actually quite well known and so the things that
34:14
he's describing here or completely anti canonical for him alone it is lawful according to the needs of the
time
34:20
make new laws assemble new congregations make an ad your category he alone shall use the Imperial
insignia all princes
34:27
shall kiss the feet of the Pope alone his name alone shall be spoken in the churches this is the only
name in the
34:34
world it is permitted and may be permitted to him to depose emperors it may be permitted him to
transfer bishops
34:39
if need be no chapter no book shall be considered canonical without his authority he alone may be
judged by no
34:46
one in this you can see all of the dictates of the medieval papacy after his reign all of them are listed
right
34:54
here in this document and so you may be thinking to yourself well you know I guess you know the
West just went along
35:00
with that but that's not true I'm
35:07
bringing up the papal dictates a little early because of the fact that before the election of Hildebrand is
Gregory in
35:15
the seventh remember that there was as I mentioned there were previous popes who
35:21
were in the vein of Leo the ninth but now this is an interesting thing I'm just gonna read from Pope's
and
35:27
anti-popes the politics of 11th century church reform and it says his usual animus toward the hill
Hildebrand
35:33
Cardinal the knowledge that knowing the ambitions filled the room the Cardinals implored the Emperor
to help them elected Bishop count the catalyst of
35:39
Parma he said that this action struck the heart of Hildebrand manifestly an emperor an enemy of the
Emperor been
35:45
accused Hildebrand of breaking all bonds of fidelity in forming a conspiracy with the enemies of the
Emperor with the
35:51
Normans this alliance enabled certain Rowling's to elect bishop and some of lucca as Alexander when
Alexander
35:57
learned of this deceit he preached a sermon in which he told the people he was unwilling to occupy the
Apostolic
36:03
scene without the license and grace of the Emperor Beto said that when Hildebrand heard Alexander
declared during the mass that he had sent a
36:10
letter of the to this effect of the Emperor he could hardly contain himself as soon as the mass was over
he had a military unit abduct Alexander keep in
36:17
mind this is the guy who's gonna become Pope and this is what he's doing to the current Pope abduct
Alexander from the
36:23
altar and taken to an adjoining room then there his garments were removed and he was beaten until he
would reveal what
36:28
grace he had sought from the Emperor Hildebrandt stated that from that day Alexander would more
than five shalini of lucan money
36:34
head's worth ben'll contended that Hildebrandt would retain all of the income of the roman church and
that he gathered an immense amount of money but
36:42
that's not all the the church in the West at this point was in chaos it was
36:49
not an east-west ism the East had kind of just given up on the west of it it was the West versus what is
becoming the
36:57
Roman Catholic Church the supporters of Hildebrand immediately after about two
37:05
years after his election of the Hildebrand as Pope do excommunicated
37:12
holy roman emperor henry v and supported a rival claimant as emperor and in 1080
37:17
the pro Imperial Senate of brixon pronounced that Gregory was deposed and replaced as Pope by we
burn of Ravenna
37:24
who became Clement the third now Clement the third is actually an immense figure
37:31
in this period and was considered at the time by most of the Western Church to be
37:38
the real Pope and what happened was through the use of military power and
37:43
through the use of the Norman alliances we find that Hildebrand of sivanna
37:51
manages to cause more chaos by excommunicating henry v because he said
37:59
that because Hildebrand was saying that the Pope doesn't need imperial sanction which was as I
mentioned in the
38:05
beginning the way it has always been done everywhere at that time that the Christian Emperor would
always pick the
38:11
bishops that what he was basically doing was he was creating something new and in doing that the
Senate of brixon was
38:18
correct and so effectively the legitimate Pope was in fact Clement the third but it
38:25
gets even worse because what ends up happening is um throughout this period the period of the
Gregorian reform in
38:31
places like Spain for example the Senate of Burgos destroyed the liturgical Rite
38:36
that was being used there removed the married priests they literally changed the faith of Spain and
replace them with
38:42
foreign monks we find this happening not only the period of Henry the third which hildebrand with it
we now know how
38:49
pardon but also during Hildebrand's own papacy when he began to introduce these
38:55
new and novel teachings that horrified the bishops of the West so they tried to depose him now what's
interesting about
39:02
Clement the third is if you look at the Encyclopedia Britannica and you see the
39:07
sources you can see that in fact he was working on reuniting with the East he
39:12
was actually trying to restore the peace of the church and Hildebrand stopped
39:18
that because he felt everyone should bow to him so you see the read the last real
39:25
Pope were the last real line of succession was that of Clement the third he commanded a significant
following in
39:32
Rome and elsewhere especially during the first half of his pontificate and reigned in opposition to four
successive
39:38
Pope's in the anti-imperial line or as we should call them the real anti-popes
39:43
Gregory the seventh Hildebrand of Silvana Victor the third urban the second and Pascal the second
after his
39:51
death and burial at cbiit us a Castellano at 1100 he was celebrated locally as a miracle-working saint
but
39:59
Pascal the second and the anti-imperial party soon suggested him to to a thorough Dilisio and damnatio
memoriae
40:07
which included the exhuming of his remains and dumping them in the Tiber
40:14
they took the last sainted Pope of the Western Church and threw his body into a
40:22
river so I guess now we can say with
40:30
pretty much certainty who founded the Roman Catholic Church who invented it
40:36
and the answer is simple this men Hildebrandt of sivanna that
40:46
is something that wasn't supposed to be discovered by history it was something
40:52
that should not have really happened but the manuscripts through there the
40:58
history sir and that's what part two is gonna be about which is why it may take a little off or us to do it
but we're gonna get those actual manuscripts we're
41:04
gonna get all this stuff because the truth of the matter is people need to know the Roman Catholic
Church was
41:10
invented by this noun you see on the screen here Hildebrand love Sivan so this brings us
41:21
back to over back in the eighteen hundreds many Western Christians began
41:30
to realize that people realized that the 1800s was a veritable Information Age
41:35
for its time more of the manuscripts the old Latin and Greek manuscripts began to
41:41
be discovered new facts began to arise uh but the structure that Hildebrand
41:47
created was coming increasingly into question which led to some of the chaos
41:52
of Vatican 2 but the reality is the church has always been the same whether in the east or the west and
now we can
41:59
remember the last Pope's of the West and hopefully one day give them the honor
42:04
that they deserve and hopefully one day maybe we'll even have an Orthodox Pope again who knows
but what we do know is
42:11
this the Roman Catholic Church as it exists was created by Hildebrand of
42:16
Silvana all of its teachings every interpretation of the father's finds its
42:22
origin there if you want to be part of the real Catholic Church the true Catholic Church feel free to
become
42:29
worth adducts or welcome you with open arms
