Roman Catholic Church edit

In 1220 the Roman Catholic Church was essentially distinct from the Eastern Orthodox Church, following the Great Schism of 1054. It was the religion of almost all of Europe, from Greenland to Sweden in the north, Poland and Hungary in the east, Italy in the south, and much of the Iberian peninsula in the west. The crusades had brought Roman Catholic church hierarchy to the Crusader states in the Holy Land and formerly Byzantine territory in Greece and the Mediterranean, and the Reconquista continued to restore Catholicism to Spain and Portugal. The temporal and spiritual power of the Church was perhaps at its height, following the reign of Pope Innocent III; Innocent had convened the Fourth Lateran Council five years earlier in 1215, and he "found himself on this occasion surrounded by seventy-one patriarchs and metropolitans, including the Patriarchs of Constantinople and of Jerusalem, four hundred and twelve bishops, and nine hundred abbots and priors."[1]

Rome and central Italy edit

 
Italy in the 12th and 13th centuries

The Pope's immediate suffragans included the suburbicarian dioceses:

There were also a large number of titular cardinal priests and deacons of the various churches in Rome:

Cardinal deacons edit
Papal States edit

The Pope was also the temporal ruler of the Papal States, which by 1220 extended north and east over the March of Ancona and the Duchy of Spoleto (Umbria), and he was thus in constant conflict with the Holy Roman Empire and the fledging northern Italian states. The struggle between the Guelphs and Ghibellines was well underway. A number of dioceses lay within the Papal States, directly subject to Rome:

Northern Italy, Corsica, and Sardinia edit

The dioceses and archdioceses to the north, in Tuscany, were also for the most part direct suffragans of Rome; the only archdiocese was Pisa, until the elevation of Florence in the 15th century, but Pisa was not the metropolis of the other Tuscan dioceses, which, due to their great antiquity, were dependent on Rome. The dioceses of Corsica, however, were politically and spiritually dependent on Pisa and Genoa at this time.[3][4] Sardinia had its own archdioceses at Sassari and Cagliari, although it was also politically dependent on Pisa.

The Republics of Genoa and Venice had long been independent city-states; Venice was particularly powerful at this time, having been responsible for the sack of Constantinople in 1204.

Milan and the other cities of Lombardy were embroiled in a long and bloody rebellion against Imperial authority. Milan was the head of the Lombard League, which gained rights of local jurisdiction for the Lombard cities, although they still technically owed allegiance to the Emperor. Ecclesiastically, Milan was also the centre of the Ambrosian Rite. Ravenna and the rest of the Romagna was also in revolt against the Empire.

Subject directly to Rome

Kingdom of Sicily edit

The Kingdom of Sicily by 1220 extended over Sicily and all of Italy south of the Papal States. It was at this time ruled by the Hohenstaufen Emperor Frederick II.

Subject directly to Rome

Holy Land edit

The First Crusade had established a Roman Catholic church hierarchy in the Holy Land; this was not exactly the same as the original ancient ecclesiastical hierarchy, as crusader Jerusalem was more prominent than Antioch and oversaw the ancient province of Phoenicia (Tyre, Beirut, et al.) which rightfully belonged to the latter patriarchate. Almost all of this territory had been lost by 1187, but a small strip of coastline was regained during the Third Crusade; otherwise many of these dioceses were in Muslim territory in 1220. Nevertheless they were not yet titular dioceses, as the ongoing Fifth Crusade promised (but ultimately failed) to re-conquer Jerusalem. The crusader presence in the eastern Mediterranean had also brought the Armenian Apostolic Church under Roman jurisdiction, although this would not last; the Maronite Catholic Church, however, rejoined the Roman church for good in the 1180s. In Cyprus, the Greek hierarchy still existed but a Latin archbishop, subject to the Patriarch of Antioch, ministered to the Latin inhabitants. Due to the ongoing Fifth Crusade, a Latin Patriarchate had also been established for Alexandria in Egypt.[6]

Jerusalem edit
Antioch edit
Egypt edit

France edit

The territory of the Kingdom of France was largely the same as that of modern France, although much of the eastern part of today's France was still part of the Holy Roman Empire. The English also held much of the west of France, but technically the English king controlled this territory as a vassal of the king of France. In the south, in the Languedoc, the Cathar heresy had taken root, and the Albigensian Crusade was underway. In 1317 Toulouse was raised to an archdiocese and a number of new dioceses were created in former Cathar territory; otherwise the ecclesiastical organization of France was essentially the same in 1220 as it would be until the French Revolution.

British Isles edit

Ireland edit

Ireland was politically dominated by Anglo-Norman lords but the church retained its own organization established at the Synod of Kells-Mellifont in 1152.

England, Wales, and Scotland edit

England had been divided between the Archdioceses of Canterbury and York since the 8th century, although by 1220 York held only Durham, Carlisle, and Galloway as suffragans; Durham was a prince-bishopric and was largely independent. Aside from Galloway, the Scottish dioceses were immediately dependent on Rome until Glasgow and St. Andrews were elevated to archdioceses in the 15th century.

Wales was ruled by Llywelyn the Great and his clients, aside from the territories ruled by the Anglo-Norman Marcher Lords. The Welsh dioceses were suffragans of Canterbury.

England had been under papal interdict from 1208 to 1214, when the country was granted by King John as a papal fief to Innocent III. The church was actually governed by papal legate Guala Bicchieri, Cardinal priest of San Martino ai Monti.

Scandinavia edit

The Archbishop of Lund was Primate of Scandinavia until the area had been sufficiently Christianized to create separate archbishops for Norway and Sweden in the 12th century. From Scandinavia, Christianity was spread to Finland and the Baltic in the east. The North Sea and North Atlantic islands, including some of the British Isles under Norse domination, were subject to the Norwegian Archbishop of Nidaros, the modern Trondheim).
