Record Number: 18307 Author(s)/Creator(s): Doran , John. Contributor(s): Title: Innocent III and the Uses of Spiritual Marriage [Medieval traditions divided over whether a bishop married his see or was Christ's groom's man in marrying a local church. Innocent III argued in a sermon that he, as Vicar of Christ, married the church. Other bishops were groom's men, friends of the bridegroom but not wedded to their own sees.Title note supplied by Feminae.]. Source: Pope, Church and City: Essays in Honour of Brenda M.
