Clergy- the body of all people ordained for religious duties, especially in the Christian Church.
Sacrament- a religious ceremony or ritual regarded as imparting divine grace, such as baptism, the Eucharist
Canon Law- ecclesiastical law, especially (in the Roman Catholic Church) that laid down by papal pronouncements.
Holy Roman Empire- a multi-ethnic complex of territories in Western and Central Europe that developed during the Early Middle Ages.
Lay Investiture- The appointment of religious officials (commonly bishops) by secular subjects.

Outcome- Otto was crowned emperor.
Cause- Church felt that bishops shouldn't be under the power of the king.
Outcome- Henry IV was excommunicated and German bishops sided with the pope.
Cause- Tried to win the pope's forgiveness.
Outcome- The pope won victory by humiliating him.
Cause- Gregory & Henry's successors fought over lay investiture until 1122.
Outcome- The Compromise, the Concordat of Worms was made.
