Anna Grzymala-Busse on the Sacred Foundations of European States

  • Summary

  • From the 11th to 14th centuries, the Roman Catholic Church was Europe’s largest and most organized institution. Unlike any other entity at the time, it had the capacity to tax, create law and administer justice. Secular authorities had to grapple with it. They competed and allied with it. But most importantly, they emulated it. Today we will be talking with Dr. Anna Grzymala-Busse about her most recent book, Sacred Foundations: The Religious and medieval roots of the European State.
