| Abstract | The decrees of the Fourth Lateran council had deep effect on ecclesiastical but also political life in medieval West. The prompting for reform and renewal within e.g. theology, papal authority, and local ecclesiastical law, had far-reaching consequences also in areas that were geographically remote from Rome. This three-paper session focuses the implementation of the conciliar decrees in Scandinavia: on institutional reform and renewal in relation to the cathedral chapters; on traditional national authority and current papal ideology in Norway and Sweden; and, on the altered instructions for private confession, confession letters, and the authority of the Apostolic Penitentiary. |
