| Abstract | Papacy was the only patriarchate (as defined at Chalcedon in 451) situated in the Western part of the Empire. The end of the Roman Empire in West in 476 changed the condition of the relations of Papacy with imperial institutions. The first paper will examine the situation during the pontificate of Hormisdas (514-523) and the development of a position of the Papacy which remained mainly theoretical, all the more since Justinian recovered Rome, a situation examined in the second paper. But the 6th century positions where still important later on, in the 11th century, around 1054, as the last paper will show. |
