The Catholic Church in the Middle Ages

The church was the most powerful organization in medieval Europe. The church claimed to have power over all religious and secular (non- religious) parts of life.

I. Reasons for the Church’s Power A. Role of Faith 1. The church represented God. 2. Religion was part of daily life. It was social and united people. 3. The church held the power to send you to Heaven or Hell.

4. If you didn’t obey Canon Law you could be excommunicated. could be excommunicated. Canon Law- church law; the church had its own courts

Excommunication- exclusion (being kicked out) of the church. - Cannot receive sacraments (means you go to hell) - Cannot receive a Christian burial - Shunned (rejected) by other Christians

II. Wealth A. Nobles often left land to the church when they died. B. Church wealth increased through tithes (church “tax” or donation; 10%)

III. Learning A. Rulers relied on Clergy (religious officials) (religious officials) to keep records (in to keep records (in Latin). Latin). B. The church preserved learning. preserved learning.

Pope (1 head) Bishops (2946 diocese, cathedrals) Priests (219,583 parishes) Catholics (1 Billion members) IV. Church Hierarchy

ROLE OF THE CHURCH Two swords of God Pope and King—his representatives on earth Church saw itself above Kings Kings always trying to assert his authority over church and vice versa –Many upper level religious posts were filled by aristocratic sons/daughters whose wealthy parents “bought” the post

Great Chain of Being Hierarchy of all things. Your place in the chain determines your distance from God. Within each level, there are further breakdowns –King  lords  knights  peasants (freemen  serfs) –Men  women  male children  female children –Horses above Dogs –Pure breeds above half breeds

Not entirely linear….. Religious ranks paralleled secular ranks in many ways. Trying to change your place upsets the chain Idea: if everyone stays in his or her place, life will be perfect

Christian Beliefs fear of punishment kept people close to the church confession

V. Corruption A. As the church’s wealth and power grew, so did corruption. B. The clergy lived in luxury and ignored their vows. C. This led to reform but would later split in the Church.

Points to Remember 1. Feudalism and the manor system separated and isolated people from each other 2. Shared beliefs in church teachings kept people united during difficult times. 3. The ultimate goal was to achieve salvation (a life in heaven). 4. The church had power because they administered/ controlled the sacraments.

22 Christendom: A Shattered Ideal Political rulers not keen on a subordinate position to the church; many revolted

Christendom: A Shattered Ideal History marching on –The Renaissance –Protestant Reformation –Rise of modern nation-state –Development of Western atheism –Global Christianity outside the West

25 Powerful Legacy of Christendom Ideal of the comprehensive presence of divine grace in all of life Ideal of a harmonious cooperation between rulers of church and state Ideal of the coming of the Kingdom of God from heaven to earth
