A Decline of the Authority of the Papacy at the Dawn of the Reformation Émile Durkheim, in his work The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life [1912], observed that “the profane could in no way enter into relations with the sacred” (2008: 40). That rule of the mutual exclusion of the sacred and the profane appeared to be the motto of the pontificates of such renowned Popes of the Middle Ages as Gregory the Great (590-604), Nicholas I (858-867), Gregory VII (1073-1085), and Innocent III (1198-1216). They reasserted the primacy and universality of the Papacy which they perceived as a duty based on humility and service, and remained truly devoted to the idea of preaching genuine faith by suppressing heresy and eliminating bribery and corruption from the Church. However, at the end of the 13th century, the Popes began to misconceive the actual significance of their office which, in their view, no longer served purely spiritual ends but became a mere means of the realization of their political and economic ambitions. The first serious signs of the decadence of the papal prestige emerged during the pontificate of Pope Boniface VIII (1294-1303). He earned the reputation of a proud, unscrupulous, pretentious, implacable man, overcome by worldliness and the lust for power. Despite his spiritual leadership, he engaged in a war against Frederic of Sicily, conducted a personal vendetta against the Colonna family and enriched his relatives, particularly his nephew Peter, son of the Count of Caserta, at the expense of the Church. His announcement of the Holy Year in 1300, which granted a plenary indulgence to all pilgrims to Rome, initiated a series of jubilees that became the source of immense profit and unprecedented scandal
