AVIGNON PAPACY
AVIGNON PAPACY
The Avignon Papacy refers to a period in the history of the
Roman Catholic Church from 1309 to 1378 when the seat of the
Pope was moved from Rome to Avignon. The period has been
called the "Babylonian Captivity” because it has been compared
to the exile of the Jews in Babylon.

In 1378, the seat was moved back to Rome, while the French
King continued to honor the bishop in Avignon as the head of
the church. From 1378 to 1414 was a time of difficulty, which
Catholic scholars refer to as the "Great Schism", when parties
within the Catholic Church were divided in their allegiances
among the various claimants to the office of Pope. The Council
of Constance finally resolved the controversy, dismantling the
last vestiges of the Avignon Papacy and brought the Great
Schism to an end in 1417.

The Great Schism resulted from the return of the Papacy from
Avignon to Rome by Pope Gregory XI in 1378. After Gregory XI
died, the Romans rioted to ensure an Italian was elected; the
cardinals, fearing the crowds, elected an Italian, Pope Urban VI
in 1378; but in the same year the majority of them removed
themselves to Avignon, and elected a rival Pope. Later a council
at Pisa was held to try to solve the dispute, but it only resulted in
the election of a third Pope.

Finally, the Council of Constance in 1417 deposed the Pope
chosen at Pisa and the Avignon Pope; the Council then
received the resignation of the Roman Pope, and then elected
Pope Martin V, thereby ending the schism.

The consequences of the Avignon Papacy included a significant
decrease in the prestige of the Papacy as well as a decrease in
his temporal powers and a significant increase in the powers of
the monarchs of Western Europe.
