In films about Francis of Assisi (like Franco Zeffirelli's Brother Sun, Sister Moon and Liliana Cavani's Francesco) Pope Innocent III is at least open to the reforms of Francis and his followers, but the medieval pontiff remains the leader of an institutional church that has lost its soul. More than 100 years later, Pope Innocent III ordered various warring factions in Rome to cease hostilities and coalesce under his authority. These developments coincided with the Gregorian reform -- extending through the pontificate of Innocent III -- which, for Levine, both de-monasticized and Christianized Europe. |
