] Innocent's pontificate ended in a blaze of glory. After the settlementof the strife in Germany he called together a Council which isdistinguished as the Fourth Lateran or the Twelfth OEcumenicalCouncil. It met in 1215, and was composed of more than two thousandpersons, including envoys from all the chief nations of Europe. Itsresolutions were embodied in seventy canons dealing with a vastvariety of subjects in the endeavour to bring about a drasticreformation of the Church. This is perhaps In...nocent's most solid claimto the name of a great ruler. But it only serves to emphasise thewholly external nature of his rule. And subsequent ages haverecognised this limitation to his claims for honour in that, whilethey have freely accorded to him the name of a great man and a greatPope, if not the greatest of the pontiffs, the Church has never addedhis name to the role of Christian saints. CHAPTER X THE PAPAL POWER IN THE CHURCH [Sidenote: The basis of papal claims. ] The interest of the period with which we are dealing is largelyconcerned with the attempted definition of the relations betweenChurch and State.
