The so-called Investiture Conflict was a watershed moment in the
political life of the Latin West and the history of the papacy.
Occurring at a time of rapid social change and political expansion,
the eleventh-century reform movement became a debate centered on a
ritual: the investment of bishops with the signs of their sacred
and secular authority. The consecration of bishops, however, was
only one of several contemporaneous conflicts over the significance
of consecrations. Less well known is that which occurred over the
dedication of churches. This book provides an examination of the
consecration, placing the fundamental questions of the Gregorian
Reform and Investiture Conflict back into their original liturgical
framework. This context allows us to consider the symbolic richness
of the liturgy that attracted large numbers of people. -- .
