Three Popes, One Church: The Great Schism of the West

  • During the later 14th Century, Western Christianity was divided on the question of who was the legitimate successor to St. Peter: the Pope in Rome or the Pope in Avignon? An ecumenical council was called in Pisa to settle the question, which deposed both rivals and appointed a new Pope. However, neither pope recognized the council's authority and thus from 1378 onward, Western Christianity had three Popes: one in Rome, one in Avignon, and one in Pisa. We'll look at this interesting history but also talk about the background ideas of authority, divine monarchy vs. representative councils, and the division of church and state.

    Wow, the differences between secular and religious education is stark. While my family is Buddhist, my parents liked parochial schools, so that's where they sent me: the local Catholic school in the archdiocese. As I came through the parish school system, they never forced me to convert, it was extremely pleasant, and I followed my friends to a Catholic highschool. There, we took a mandatory class in "Church History" our Junior year. It covered everything from Peter to the Lombards to the various Ecumenical Councils. But this lecture series went even deeper. Such an interesting history; not every institution has 2,000 years of practices to draw from! I'm still a secularist, I just like history.

    I had a book published in the year 1602. It was a listing of bishops of Rome and Pontiffs . Even though my Latin is sketchy at best, I was ale to find the name of the first Pope. His name was Dionysius. I can' t speak to the accuracy of the book but it was genuinely almost 400 years old.

    This was an excellent presentation to a former Catholic; I attended 12 years of parochial school and took a class on history of the church but did not learn much about any of this! These codependent elite factions competed with, but ultimately relied on each other for their power and legitimacy. Popes anointing monarchs and monarchs defending the church etc. etc. but it was the audacious Henry VIII who, when he could not get that annulment because his wife was the niece of the holy Roman Emperor and thus had influence, decided he would be both the head of the state and the head of the church in his country, something nobody had done before except maybe the pharaohs! This continues to the present although it’s considered a symbolic title. the king has the title of the head of the church of England and defender of the faith. But it just goes to show you the history of the Catholic Church is a very bumpy road with many major splits and much corruption

      Actually the joke is that two old friends went into the priesthood. One moved up the ranks becoming cardinal while the other stayed along the lines of a humble parish priest. It was the day of the Cardinals “inauguration“ and of course his friend had to attend. Now these boys were rather fey, if you know what I mean. The priest made sure he had an aisle seat so he could see his friend walk up in all of his glory and regalia including his red Prada shoes. He tended to be the smart ass of the two and as he saw his friend walk up in a grand manner with his gold robe and his beautiful miter, swinging the incense container, all bowed as he walked by, 😊and as the priest bowed he whispered loudly, “love the drag, but your purse is on fire!“ Ha ha ha ha

      Christ created the Church, his Kingdom on Earth of which he named Simon (Peter) the Rock (… in which I’ll build my Church; I’ll give you the keys to the kingdom of Heaven; whatever you will bind on earth will be bound in Heaven…). He gives the apostles the gift of the Holy Spirit which “will lead you to all truths) and Christ HIMSELF not only gave the original apostles the ability to establish doctrine, to teach and evangelize in His name but moreover, he Commanded them to do so. This is why gentile Christian converts don’t have to become circumcised when becoming Christians.

    This talk is far too discursive and shambolic, and a history of the medieval Papacy, and hardly about the Schism of 1378-1417. At points it is inaccurate or over-simplifies. Why does the speaker think Pope Francis is popular whereas Pope Benedict XVI was less so? Many would say the complete reverse.

      The lecture was advertised as about the 1378-1417 Schism. Most of it was about the origins and rise of the Papal Monarchy, which could be assumed ad background and covered in books such as those of Walter Ullmann. Had it been advertised as that then it would have been more accurate.
      The talk was upwards of an hour and a half - the usual length for an academic presentation is 50 minutes to an hour. So even with a few sentences to introduce the development of the Papacy up to the mid-fourteenth century there was more than an hour to talk about the events and personalities as well as the ideas of both Papalism and Conciliarism, and how these elements meshed together, not to mention the cultural consequences of the Council of Constance.
      Could I have done better? As an historian of the period and with quite a long period of having delivered lectures and papers to both academic and more informal audiences I think, in all honesty, I could.

      Many young Catholics, like myself, would agree with you. The majority of lay Catholics like to call us “TrandLads” which is a mock because they call us “hipster Catholics” who prefer the Latin High Mass and the Devotions to Saint Michael. I was just talking to my fiancé about how the prayer to Saint Michael came about and how amazed that I am to see it removed from Mass in the timeframe spoken about when it was written and added to all Masses. Don’t give up hope in Our Lady. There is an entire generation’(s) of young people which has become the new evangelization because they (we) are seeking stability and tradition in the unstable and constantly changing world around us.

      Right but for the wrong reasons so really the foundation is very very shaky. At least a Luther was protesting because of his care and concern for the church and his concern about the corruption this was not true of Henry the eighth it was all expediency so he could drop the old hag that he had been with for 25 years to get the new concubine so he could have a baby boy. And when she didn’t give that to him he disposed of her within two years. And he is the head of the church of England. He also raided the Catholic monasteries and took all the riches. So again right that he did it but for the wrong reasons and it leaves the Anglican Church in a very shaky place and nobody attends church in England anymore and all of Europe for that matter
