Evolutii ale autoritatii papale, pana la Conciliul II Vatican
Evolutions of Papal Authority, Before Vatican II Council

Summary/Abstract: The Roman Catholic Church’s vision on authority in the Church will crystalize around the primate of the bishop of Rome in the Church and will change, under the influence of historical, political and ecclesiological factors, into papal authoritarianism.Generally, the transformation of the authority of the bishop of Rome into authoritarianism in the Church knew a honorific and synodic stage in the first eight Christian centuries, then an authoritarian and non-synodic one during the Middle Ages, culminating with the exclusivist one proclaimed in the dawn of modernity, at the First Council in Vatican (1870).
