For your homework you were asked to create either a fact file or a poster on Christianity (mainly Catholicism) which looked at their beliefs, structure and services. Its now time to make sure you have a good understanding of this, but also to add in any elements about the fifteenth century which you might have missed.
TASK:
Read through the bullet points on pages 5 and 6 of the textbook (and also use the diagram too). Add in any information you might have missed about the beliefs, structure and services. You will need to do this in green pen.

EXPLAIN
why the Catholic Church was so powerful
EVALUATE
how much criticism the church faced and the impact this had.

7. Catholic belief and practices
Only the most saintly could expect to go straight to heaven. Those who had committed some sins, but not mortal sins (so most people) could expect to go to Purgatory after death. There they would be ‘purged’ of their sin by fire and torment. However, once they had been purified, their soul would then ascend to heaven. Those who had committed mortal sins could expect to go to hell for all eternity. You could get time off Purgatory by doing the following:
Take the sacrament of Mass
Do good works (e.g. charity/give money to the church)
Repent your sins
Go on a pilgrimage
Have people pray for your soul
Intercession of the Saints
Acquire relics
TASK:
Using the information you have been given, add any information you might have missed in green pen.

8. Historian’s views MacCulloch on the Mass: TASK:
MacCulloch on praying for the souls of the dead:
“It was a marvellous way of uniting the dead and living in mutual aid, to make the barrier seem not wider than that between a congregation and the carved figures in the roodloft, as well as giving the community of the living a sense of mutual responsibility and concern. It gave people a sense that they had some control over death, before which humanity has always stood baffled and powerless”
Why were prayers for the dead so important?
MacCulloch on the Mass:
“They see it as a representation, or perhaps dramatic re-creation, of the last supper which Jesus Christ ate with his disciples before his arrest and death. From the Church’s earliest days it has been a way to break down the barrier between the physical and the spiritual, between earth and heaven, death and life. It involves objects made by human beings and therefore part of everyday society: bread and wine, food and drink, which bring earthly joy and which indeed are fraught with danger because they can be enjoyed too much…The Eucharist became a drama linking Christ to his followers, pulling them back to his mysterious union with the physical world and his conquest of the decay and dissolution of the physical in death. It was such a sacred thing that the laity dared approach the Lord’s table on very infrequently, perhaps once a year at Easter, otherwise leaving the priest to take the bread and the wine while they watched in reverence.”
What can you learn about the importance of the Mass from this extract?
TASK:
Using the information you have been given, add any information you might have missed in green pen.

9. How powerful was the Catholic Church?
The basic answer is very! This was due to its various roles both with in the political sphere and the community too.

11. How much impact did this criticism have on the church?
Lollards, heresy and anticlericalism
A small minority were critical of the beliefs and practices of the church. Lollardy (or Lollards) emerged during the second half of the fourteenth century and placed stress on the understanding of the Bible and therefore favoured the translation into English. They were sceptical about transubstantiation and the principles of Eucharist, and considered the Catholic Church to be corrupt. They also denied the special status of the priesthood. Despite their views being considered heresy, they still persisted in parts of southern England. Whilst the movement was once widespread, it had now started to die down due to the failed Lollard uprising in It lost intellectual coherence and became geographically restricted. Other forms of heresy seem to have been rare. The burning of heretics was introduced in 1401, though few had suffered this fate.
Criticism of the church did exist, and it is often assumed that anticlericalism (the role of the church in non-religious matters) was widespread. However, this has been argued due to the fact these outbursts were rare, that they were often politically motivated and that the continued number of candidates for priesthood showed that priests retained the support.
