great schism
king philip iv persuaded the college of cardinals to choose a french archbishop as the next pop 1305
clement V was slected and he moved the papacy to the french city of Avignon
popes would live there for 69 yrs
move to Avignon weakened the chhurch so the college of cardinals eventually chose a roman pope due mostly to peoples demands
pope urban IV became the new pope but was not supported son thereafter by the college of cardinals due to his attitude
so what do you think the college of cardinals did
they chose a second pope clement VII who spoke french
urban VI was in rome and clement VII was in Avignon
each pope excommunicated eachother
simple solution
1414 council of constance attempted to end the great schism by choosing a single pope
they assumed the other 2 would resign
they didn't
therewere now a total of 3 popes avignon pop anitipope the roman pope and new 3rd pope
help of holy roman emperor the council forced all 3 to resign
1417 council chose a new pope martin V ending the great schism but leaving the papacy
john 1320's 1384 critics of the church
preached jesus christ no the pope was the true head of the church
believed that the clergy shouldn't own land or be wealthy
taught bible alone not the pope was final authority for christian life
helped get english translation of new testament of the bible
followers were the lollards and was the precursor to protestant reformation 1517
influenced by wycliffes writng jan hus taught that authority of bible was higher than the pope
excommunicated in 1412 executed in 1415 burned at stake
