Concept

In 1189, pope Innocence III compared the Papacy to the sun and the Roman Empire to the moon. Things however changed in the early modern period, when the European “states” became major players and the Catholic Church the distant moon. Yet, the Church continued to play a pivotal role in the field of law. This workshop aims to show how ecclesiastical tribunals reacted to the new political balance.
