中世纪西欧神权统治对西方民主政治的影响

Influences of the Roman Catholic Church on the West Democratic Politics in the Middle Ages

中世纪西欧是神权统治的时代，但神权统治中蕴涵着诸多的自我否定因素。这些因素对西方的民主政治产生了多方面的影响。不仅使西欧形成了独特的政教分立的二元权力体系。对西欧的王权也有很大的限制作用，还便利了西欧各国民主力量的产生与壮大，基督教本身也蕴涵着民主的精神内核。

It was a period in Western Europe in the Middle Ages that people ruled by the Roman Catholic Church. But in the period the rule of the Roman Catholic Church also contained a lot of self-negative factors. For example, it formed of distinctive dual right system that separated religion from politics, restricted monarchical right, facilitated democratic forces to emerge and grow in strength. Christianity also contains democratic spirit core.
