Summary/Abstract: Innocent III is considered the most important pope of the Middle Ages, both for his pastoral and disciplinary contribution, but especially for his theological, juridical and ecclesiological work that strongly marks the medieval theocracy and the activity of subordination of the Empire and kingdoms. Creatively using the Old and New Testaments, he arrogates a power that surpasses any other earthly power meant to serve a single purpose: to establish a Christian society subject to God in its entirety and which, under the tutelage of the bishop of Rome, is a sub-heavenly society in which reigns harmony and peace. Of course, Innocent’s vision, beyond the principles of Christian integrity, also experienced an integralism, some call it Catholic, which definitively lays the foundations of Catholic militancy that characterized the evolution of Europe in the late medieval era with echoes to this day.
