Christianity
- The Medieval period is an age of religion and faith.
- The church was more powerful than the king.
- The Medieval church was very powerful because it was the only place for advanced education at that time.
- It was very wealth because it taught people to be afraid of sin and death.
- Those people who were afraid of sin and death would bring a large sum of money to the priests and ask them to save their souls.
✿ Thus, a number of priests turned more and more to earn their livings as Pardoners.
✿ The more they become rich, the more they were corrupt.
✿ They were no longer paid attention to the Bible and the discipline.
✿ this was one reason for the decline of the Church in the later period of the Middle Ages.
