Abstract: The present research covers teachings of a number of Gnostic schools which altogether created a serious opposition to medieval Rome Catholic Church in Europe.

The author of the article also considers grounds for rebellions in Milan, Brescia and Rome in XII-XIII centuries. The principles of organization of the Pope’s and Emperor’s powers were the subject of lively discussions reflected in bullas and bans as well as political and legal treaties. The author views consequence of this opposition between Gnostic and Catholic views reflected both on the political map of Europe and European law monuments.
