What reading level is A History of the Christian Church book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Benedict IX re- fused to lay down the papacy, and there w^re now three Popes in Rome, each in possession of one of the principal churches, and each denouncing the other two. Henry III now inter- fered. At a synod held by him in Sutri in December, 1046, Silvester III was deposed, and Gregory VI compelled to resign and banished to Germany. A few days later, a synod in Rome, 222 THE REFORM PARTY SECURES THE PAPACY under imperial supervision, deposed Benedict IX. Henry HI immediately nominated and ...the overawed clergy and people of the city elected a German, Suidger, bishop of Bamberg, as Clement II (1046-1047). Henry HI had reached the high- water mark of imperial control over the papacy. So grateful did its rescue from previous degradation appear that the reform party did not at first seriously criticise this imperial domina- tion ; but it could not long go on without raising the question of the independence of the church. The very thoroughness of Henry's work soon roused opposition.
Henry HI had repeated occasion to show his control of the papal oflBce.
