Review # 1 was written on 2010-10-04 00:00:00 Erik Richards This was very confusing and definitely an academic text. I found constant references to things that most people would not understand, with no explanation. An example is his tossing out the word "Gallicanism" which I knew from reading but most people (I think) would not understand was the belief in the limitation of papal power in favor of the power of the monarch or the state. In a couple of years, I may not have remembered what it meant but I had read about it recently enough to understand. I would definitely only read this if I were already familiar with the period. There were many times I was lost even with all of my past reading.
