| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Conflict of Investitures |
| | Investiture at this period meant that on the death of a bishop or abbot, the king was accustomed to select a successor and to bestow on him the ring and staff with the words: Accipe ecclesiam (accept this church). | | | In the document of peace, Henry yields up "to God and his Holy Apostles Peter and Paul and to the Holy Catholic Church all investitures with ring and staff, and allows in all Churches of his kingdom and empire ecclesiastical election and free consecration". | | | Royal investiture after his time was an empty survival, a ceremony without meaning. |

| | Recognizing that lay investiture was not in accord with the ancient laws of the church, the reformers attributed to that practice the low morals of the clergy of their day, especially their indulgence in simony—the purchase and sale of church offices—and concubinage. | | | According to the concordat, the church was to have the right to elect bishops, and investiture by ring and staff was to be done by the clergy. | | | Specifically at issue was the practice whereby the prince bestowed on the prelate the ring and staff that were the symbols of his spiritual authority. |

| | There was a lot of dispute about the pallium, which had to be sent by the pope, but a layman could claim that by investing with the pallium, he was recognizing the bishop's rights over him and his heirs. | | | The Church argued that its authority came directly from God and not from a bunch of secular lords. | | | Since bishops and archbishops appointed and directed all the clerics below them, either directly or indirectly, the investiture ceremony was the most important single factor in selecting church personnel and setting the structure of authority within the Church as a whole. |

| | The clerical reform movement and the investiture controversy |
| | Most controversial was the presentation of the holy symbols of annulus and wand to the clerical dignitary by the King. | | | Along with that, they attributed to the lay investiture the ethical decline of the clergy, particularly its leniency towards the breach of celibacy, the widespread simony (ecclesiastical crime and personal sin of paying for offices or positions in the hierarchy of a church) as well as the trade with relics. | | | In the 11th and 12th century the conflict between church and state escalated about the role of the secular sovereign within the installation of bishops and abbots. |

| | Hugh, Bishop of Fleury (France) suggested that using the ring and the staff as symbols for investiture was the confusing point because these symbols were too closely identified with the spiritual office to symbolize the temporal considerations at the same time. | | | Out of the discussion it became obvious that the church wanted to exclude laymen from the conveyance of the spiritual office, and the rulers wanted to insure the loyalty and subservience of the clergy. | | | This was aimed at the widespread practice of the kings and proprietors as well as Emperor Henry IV requiring bishops, archbishops and abbots to do homage. |

| | Investiture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Lay investiture was the appointment of bishops, abbots, and other church officials by feudal lords and vassals. | | | The question who should invest (or more to the point, appoint) whom was the subject of an epic conflict between the Catholic church (mainly papacy) and state (mainly the Holy Roman Empire) in the Middle Ages during the so-called Investiture Controversy (see that article). | | | Investiture, from the Latin (preposition in and verb vestire, 'dress' from vestis 'robe') is a rather general term for the formal installation of an incumbent (heir, elect of nominee) in public office, especially by taking possession of its insignia. |
