Summary

This chapter describes the institutional, political, and legal changes that the Roman episcopacy underwent during the first millennium. It sketches the historical developments that led to the emergence of the papacy as an institution, and it describes the first official papal decretals and the early collections of papal decisions. The chapter also examines the evolving ideas of Petrine and Pauline succession and of papal supremacy. Inseparably linked to those ideas was the relationship between the bishops of Rome and the ever-changing but enduring Byzantine Roman Empire. In the period under study, the papacy had to deal with many external and internal challenges, which shaped the Roman episcopacy during the first millennium and thereafter. The chapter should be read in connection with the chapters on two popes: Leo the Great (440–461) and Gregory the Great (590–604).
