A minor correction--the Donation of Constantine coincides with the crowning of Pepin III, Charlemagne's father. Another interesting aspect of the story is the unveiling of the forgery by Lorenzo Valla in his Oration on the Falsely Trusted and Forged Donation of Constantine (1440). Some scholars believe that Martin Luther's final break with the Catholic Church came after reading Valla's treatise in an early German translation (c.1520).
Thank you, I really enjoy these in-depth studies. So many other Channels just rush through a topic that you never get a good understanding of it.
At the time of Constantine there was no Western part of the Empire.
There was only Roman Empire.
So Constantine didn't gave the Pope control over the Western part, but over the whole Church.
At the begining there was One Church with 5 dioceses and 5 Bishops:
The Bishop of Rome
The Bishop of Constantinople
The Bishop of Antioch
The Bishop of Alexandria
The Bishop of Jerusalem.
All of these Bishops were equal in rank and status, but the Pontifex Maximus of the Church was the Roman Emperor himself.
Donation of Constantine was used to elevate the Bishop of Rome, aka the Pope, above other Bishops and that act is the main cause of the Great Schism.
No mention of “Who” wrote up the forgery?
Probably written by those who will greatly benefit from it... the Pope and their henchmen.
Gen. 15:13, Acts 7:6 & Gen. 15:13. who did this happen to ?.
Adrian Florensz is Adrian VI?

The only Dutchman and the last non-Italian elected to the papacy until the late 20th century.

But you don’t go on to tell where true authority comes from, Jesus Christ.

Carmen Siekierke ok?
I know he knows the answer. I am just asking.
The Popes know that “Jesus Christ” is a forgery also. Sorry
