SPECIAL NOTE:

This episode was extensively developed from an essay I wrote in 1994 as a conclusion to a module on the Medieval Church that I was studying under distance learning through London Bible College. I always hoped it would become useful one day.

It was the year 1215. And if you could have stood in Rome that year, you would have witnessed something extraordinary. Thousands of churchmen gathered together. Bishops and abbots. Theologians and representatives of the great religious orders. And presiding over them all was one of the most powerful popes medieval Europe had ever known: Pope Innocent III.

The medieval Church was at the height of its institutional power, and this council was going to make that power felt.
