medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
According to H.E.J. Cowdrey, Pope Gregory VII 1073-1085 (Oxford
Clarendon Press, 1998), p. 504, the title "pope" is the unique name - a
claim that is not entirely accurate if one looks to earlier centuries.
K.G> Cushing, Papacy and Law in the Gregorian Revolution (Oxford
Clarendon Press, 1998), pp. 216-222 finding no parallel for this Dictate
11 with the Collection of Anselm of Lucca. Cushing finds parallels for
every other Dictate.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and
culture
I was discussing Gregory VII's "Dictatus papae" with a class this
morning, and we found ourselves puzzled by the two clauses that deal
with the papal name: That his name along shall be spoken in the
churches and That this is the only name in the world (translation
from the internet medieval sourcebook). Does anyone have a sense of
just what this might mean?
