AB - Pope Gregory Ⅶ as a performer of theory of papal monarchy had reformed system of papal government. Especially Rome synod and papal legates were to be his important reform tools. At first, Gregory’s synods were regularly opened by Lent every year, and composed of bishops, abbots, priests and deacons. Gregory declared his decrees that were consented with the participants as the whole assembly. And then Gregory’s Rome synods yielded examples of general discussions as a democratic method that made decision by majority among them.
The second, Gregory dispatched his legates to the metropolitans and local dioceses. These legates propagated decisions through Rome synod and applied them to local cases. They consisted of members of Curia, cardinal-bishops, abbots, and natives mainly. Therefore papal legates conflicted with authoritative archbishops who held traditionally strong power, for example, ones of Mainz, Bremen, and Reims. These disobedient clergy were deposed and excommunicated by papal legates to whom pope Gregory Ⅶ delegated full power.
In conclusion, pope Gregory Ⅶ was especially in need of an organized papal government, for to the papacy was subjected the whole of Christendom. Thus as an universal Ruler he tried to rule Christendom through reformed synods and papal legates.
