The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, vol. 1

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: Two Movements That Strengthen the Papal Power

In order to include the British writers in one discussion, the previous chapter was extended to include Matthew Paris. But before this time in Europe great movements were afoot which had their effect not only on doctrine but also on the relationships of church and state. This chapter will therefore take up the monastic reforms and the rise of scholasticism and the universities. PFF1 628.1
