True story. The babylonians conquered Jerusalem and later Judah. The Jews were kept as slaves in the Babylonian kingdom for about 40 years I believe. Not exactly sure. It was in approximately 800-600BC.
70 years? ok, I stand corrected!

Based upon the following I believe it is (C) Diminished public and private respect for the Church. Babylonian Captivity of the Church The Avignon papacy refers to a period in the history of the Roman Catholic Church from 1305 to 1378 when the seat of the pope was moved from Rome to Avignon, France. The period has been called the "Babylonian captivity" (or "Babylonish captivity") of the popes, particularly by Martin Luther but also by many Catholic writers. This nickname is polemical, in that it refers to the claim by critics that the prosperity of the church at this time was accompanied by a profound compromise of the Papacy's spiritual integrity, especially in the alleged subordination of the powers of the Church to the ambitions of the French kings. Coincidentally, the "captivity" of the popes at Avignon lasted around the same duration as the exile of the Jews in Babylon, making the analogy all the more convenient and rhetorically potent. For this reason, the Avignon papacy has been and is often today depicted as being totally dependent on the French kings, and sometimes as even being treacherous to its spiritual role and its heritage in Rome. Seven popes (all French) resided in Avignon: * Pope Clement V - 1305-1314 * Pope John XXII - 1316-1334 * Pope Benedict XII - 1334-1342 * Pope Clement VI - 1342-1352 * Pope Innocent VI - 1352-1362 * Pope Urban V - 1362-1370 * Pope Gregory XI - 1370-1378 gatita

The Babylonian captivity happened in the OT........
Then little by little.....the captives were allowed to return to Israel
Edit:
Rogavit.....I think the time in captivity was actually about 70 years. I'm not a know-it-all or anything but.....I'm pretty sure of that one.

It is metephorical in reference to Church being taking captive by false religious teachings and leaving the true teachings of Jesus Christ. After away the Christian becomes enslaved to religious works that they forget the true meaning of Salvation through Jesus Christ by the Grace of God.

The jews were held captive in Babylon, then later freed by the Persians when Xerxes invaded.
