Why did King John argue with the pope?

Answer 1

When Archbishop of Canterbury Hubert Walter died on 13 July 1205. The Canterbury Cathedral chapter claimed the sole right to elect Hubert's successor and favoured Reginald. John wanted John de Graham, one of his own men, so he could influence the church more. When their dispute could not be settled, the Chapter secretly elected one of their members as Archbishop. A second election imposed by John resulted in another nominee. When both of these elected arch-bishops arrived in Rome, Pope Innocent III rejected both of them, and elected Stephen Langton to the post. Langton was not accepted by John, the Barons nor the Bishops. Innocent placed the English Kingdom under interdict and excommunicated John. The dispute was finally ended in 1213 when John finally submitted to the Pope.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, King John had a little tiff with the pope because he wanted to appoint his own archbishop, and the pope was like, "Um, no way, Jose." So, they got into a whole argument about who had the power to appoint church officials. It was like a medieval version of a Twitter feud, but with more swords and less hashtags.

Answer 3

Oh, honey, King John was a hot mess. He argued with the pope because he wanted to appoint his own Archbishop of Canterbury, but the pope was like, "Um, no way, Jose." Their little tiff led to the whole Magna Carta drama, where the barons were like, "Hey, John, stop being a power-hungry jerk." And the rest is history, darling.

Answer 4

King John argued with the pope primarily over the appointment of the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1205. The pope's preferred candidate was rejected by King John in favor of his own choice, leading to a dispute over ecclesiastical authority. This conflict ultimately escalated into the interdict of 1208 and the excommunication of King John in 1209, as the pope sought to assert his authority over the English monarchy.

Answer 5

England was put under interdiction. In theory, all church services were cancelled, other than baptism and extreme unction (though it would be surprising if this decree was completely observed). Bishops who dies were not replaced; others headed for exile - at one point only one bishop was physically present in England.

Then the Pope upped the ante and excommunicated John - and encouraged Philip of France to invade England and overthrow John. This led to a rather messy civil war.

Eventually, John backed down, and made himself a vassal of the Pope

Answer 6

King John Fell Out With The Pope because he made his men drag priests from their horses to rob and beat them. The pope was more powerful with the king and king john didn't like that so they fell out over priests and power.

Answer 7

king john was awesome!

NEW RESPONDENT

In 1207 king John quarrelled with the pope about who should be appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. The quarrel went on getting worse and worse and John's uncompromising and arrogant behaviour so outraged the pope that the king was excommunicated and England fell under the Interdict.

After five years of loggerheads, in 1213 John, pressed by the public opinion, gave in and made an act of political obedience towards the pope.

Answer 8

Henry VIII had an argument with the pope because the pope would not allow him to divorce his wife, whom he was unhappy with for not having a male child to be his successor. this dispute eventually caused Henry to split from Catholicism, and start the Church of England, of which he was the head.

Answer 9

Why did Henry the VIII argue with the pope?

Because he wanted a divorce and the Roman Catholic Church did not allow divorces this is why he started the Church of England.

Answer 10

It was that he got out numbered in 1209 so there fore it had been decided
