The medieval church had a system of status similar to feudalism.

Church and political leaders continued to fight for authority and power.

Words Worth Knowing:

        Clergy: religious officials such as priests, bishops, cardinals, and the pope

        Sacraments: religious ceremonies to help people reach salvation

        Canon law: the laws of the Church which all Christians must follow

        Lay investiture: ceremony where clergy were appointed by kings

Pope Gregory VII: banned lay investiture to get more power from king

        Henry IV: Holy Roman Emperor who tried to get Pope to step down and waited in snow for 3 days to be forgiven

        Concordat of Worms: compromise between Church and Emperor about lay investiture (1122)
