Answer:

The statement is false. Caesaropapism doesn't describe the condition in Rome after 476.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cesaropapism in the West began in the year 800, when Pope Leo III crownedCharlemagne, king of the Franks and Lombards, and patrician of the Romans, as Emperor of a restored Roman Empire that, prolonged in his successors, will be known as Carolingian Empire (800-843); causing two effects: the support of the Church to the State and vice versa, the support of the State to the Church. This mutual support resulted in a cesaropapism, which supported the theory of the divine right of kings and gave them absolute power over religion and government at the same time.
