21. Theology and Power - The Papacy After Constantine
As Christianity became the empire's favored religion, theological debates took on political dimensions. This episode explores how popes from Julius I to Damasus I navigated the Arian controversy that divided the 4th-century church while developing more explicit theories of Roman primacy. The imprisoned Pope Liberius, the violent election of Damasus, and the emerging concept of papal decretals reveal how doctrinal conflicts shaped institutional authority in lasting ways as the papacy claimed both theological leadership and administrative power.
