| | Epinions.com - The Innocent III papacy |
| | Innocent knew that if he could successfully preach to the faithful in France to destroy the heretics that were ravaging their country, through the faithful he could achieve two things: eliminate heresy in the name of spreading and strengthening Christianity and returning lands to papal control via the faithful in France. | | | Not only did Innocent care about what was happening to the faithful of his religion by the heretics, but he also concerned himself with the Jews. | | | The reign of Innocent III is one that was filled with a pope that had to make tough decisions to protect the vitality of the Catholic Church, and therefore, often times had to act quite definitively on matters that would possibly go against the best interests of Christianity. |

| | Pope Innocent III |
| | Other popes before him -- from Gregory VII onwards -- had upheld the theory of the supremacy of the spiritual over the temporal authority, with various fortune; it was reserved for Innocent to make it a reality. | | | On the 8th of January 1198 Celestine III died, and on the same day Lotario, though not even a priest, was unanimously elected pope by the assembled cardinals. | | | He at once became a canon of St. Peter's; he was made subdeacon of the Roman Church by Pope Gregory VIII; and in 1190 his uncle, Pope Clement III, created him cardinal-deacon of Santi Sergio e Baccho. |

| | The pope stood with John against the barons when they forced him to grant the Magna Carta; Innocent declared it null as exacted by force, and as a vassal's promise made without his overlord's approval. | | | Innocent called the Fourth Crusade which never made it to the Holy Land, but instead attacked Christians on the island of Zara and in the Byzantine Empire. | | | Innocent placed England under interdict, excommunicated John in 1209, and threatened to depose him. |

| | THE VATICAN CONNECTION TO ENGLAND Chapter I |
| | The Pope's reply to the king's message was a suggestion of delay by the device of "arbitration." On May 9, 1215, the king proposed to the barons "arbitration" before a court consisting of representatives of himself, of the barons and of the Pope, after the barons had besieged the royal castle at Northampton. | | | The king as sovereign transferred his status and property to the Pope, and here is the exception, through a lie perpetrated by the Pope, made possible by the king's ignorance of God's Word. | | | In this letter, the Pope declares the Magna Charta was to be ignored, and reports that the king informed the barons he had no legal authority to sign the Magna Charta. |

| | Professor Sayers also explores Innocent's response to the rising challenge to orthodoxy - for, by the early thirteenth century, the idea of returning to the simplicity of the early Church, embracing poverty and dispensing with priests, swept over the Mediterranean lands, encouraging lay people to explore the possibilities of an alternative Christianity. | | | She stresses the important part that propaganda played in his dealings with secular rulers, and how firm belief in law led him to attempt the reform of the Church and the regulation of the behaviour of ordinary people through ecclesiastical legislation. | | | Innocent III : Vicar of Christ or Lord of the World? |
