First, Excommunications of Princes especially, have beene very advantageous for the advancing of the Papacy. The first that I finde who made use of it in this kinde, was Pope Constantine, who did excommunicate the Greeke Emperour Philippicus, under the pretence of the heresie they termed Iconomachy (or opposing Image worship: ) which produced so fatall an effect, that Arthemius incouraged thereby, rebelled: and deposed the Emperour, anno 716. And then this audacity became afterwards hereditary: many Popes excommunicating many Emperours, and many other Princes. By this meanes Gregory the second raised Ravenna and Venice in rebellion against Leo, and expelled the Greeke Emperor out of the Italian territories. |
