Imperial Church (English: Reichskirche) [Germany]

Japanese: 帝国教会 - ていこくきょうかい（英語表記）Reichskirche[ドイツ]

Generally, in the Carolingian Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, this term refers to the bishoprics, archbishoprics, and monasteries that had the emperor as their direct protector, based on the supernatural authority of the emperor and the Germanic system of private church ownership. However, it is also sometimes used to refer to the church organization in the Roman Byzantine Empire and the anti-Roman churches of Germany and Austria in the mid-18th century. This system was strengthened by the church policies of the Ottonian emperors in particular, and eventually triggered the Investiture Controversy. [Konno Kunio]

一般にカロリング帝国および神聖ローマ帝国において，皇帝の超自然的権威とゲルマン的私有教会制に基づき，皇帝を直接の守護者とする司教･大司教教会や大修道院を指す用語。ただし，ローマ･ビサンティン帝国の教会組織や，18世紀半ばのドイツ，オーストリアの反ローマ主義教会についても用いられることがある。この体制は特にオットー諸帝の教会政策によって強化され，やがて叙任権闘争を誘発した。【今野国雄】
