The catholic church during the medieval times
Religion played a vital part in the lives, for majority of medieval Europeans. The religion they believed in would impact the way the were to live and immensely impacted the way they were to see the world as, at the time. The Christian religion “Catholicism” had become the most powerful religion throughout Europe however was not always welcome…
Just over 300 years after Jesus’ death, the European leaders came to the decision of banning the Christian religion. Anyone who was to protest against this command,was to be punished by being put to death. However the roman emperor “Constantine” broke his law in the early 300’s, this law change was a vital part in “Christendom” and the influence of The Catholic Church becoming so very popular throughout Europe in the future.
In the early 1100s, Catholicism had incredibly become the most influential religion, in Western Europe. The Catholic Church had made quite an impression on the people of western europe during the medieval times, the people started to believe that those who followed the catholic God, would go to heaven and those who did not would spend their afterlife in hell. People would go to mass on Sundays to show their respect and love for God, they also supported their church leaders by paying them a “tithe” which was a tax of 10 percent of the crops they grew.
