How The Catholic Church holds its people during the disasters of the 14th century?
In the fourteenth century, the medieval West suffered a series of catastrophes, and the prestige of the church was drastically reduced. How the church challenged the dominant position, and how the church does not meet the needs of its people.
What were the Churches failures during that time?
On the board, hunger and the rest - how the Church needs people? For example, taxes and the creation of indulgences and purgatory.
- Authorizes the Vatican for the Catholic Church to help people illegally enter the Usa ….?
- If purgatory is real, why the Catholic Church get money from this?
- Why do people think that the Catholic Church has removed Purgatory?
- In the 21rst century, the Catholic Church is A Good Strong?
- In Somalia, a Catholic priest's death inspired thousands of people in the church during a war. Why?
The church did not let his people. on the contrary, as the church has always held together and saved civilization from falling apart completely. Taxes and feudalism were state caused problems with the Inquisition and persecution Templar. These were the facts of the States of Europe that are far from controlling the church. In fact, he had all the resources of the church had to keep Christianity together as long as it was … It was not always a despotic king who resented papal interference in "their" church. Finally, England finally break, it spoiled a murderer named Henry VIII wanted a divorce … of course, by this time the church has lost a devoted many Catholics in the martyrdom-(aBeckett Thomas, Joan of Arc) by tyrants out of control.
In short, what makes the church during medieval times of distress?
- Educated people Common - founded the modern school and file systems we have today on the basis of a self-sacrificing work of clergy committed to a vow of poverty.
- Catholics defending the continent since the conquest of the Muslims, without tolerance or mercy.
- Kickstart-Renaissance movement towards progress in science, exploration, discovery and rediscovery of ancient knowledge (whose preservation is attributable solely to the Catholic clergy).
- Served as a tempering influence on all of Europe and the conversion of the powerful pagan tribe (whose lives revolved around war, destruction and human sacrifice) to a religion of love.
To address the criticism implicit in the question:
Indulgences was simply a form of penance, which has already paid the sin confessed and repented, financially to pay penance for furtherment the community in the form of funds for churches. In fact, this still takes place in all the churches of today and is considered an act of support and community spirit … As for purgatory, the doctrine continues to believe in this day for more than 1 billion Catholics. I personally believe in it, simply because it makes sense, "nothing imperfect can enter a place, it is imperfect, there must be a place where the imperfections and weaknesses within us can be cleaned." This is not a "creation" by any stretch-just a vision of the world religion based on the examination of the mysteries of this world. If not, then I think we do not think so … that is your call.
But ultimately, Catholics are the most intelligent of religious adherents in the world. We welcome a rational discussion of our beliefs, simply because we have nothing to hide and nothing to fear. We fear no discussion of our history and our relevance in the future, the truth is unchanging and always relevant. We do not propose to know the intentions of our Lord, and certainly not meant to be "friends" with him as many of our Protestant friends. We fear our Lord.
Catholics are the most noble and richest people on the planet. Catholics are also the poorest in the world. We send missionaries and charity to all countries of the world (not just white people with money as the Protestants). The Catholics are all colors, all races … but we all believe in life! Catholic priests have Ph.D. 's in all academic areas of human activity … but this type of education only reinforces our belief …
When people criticize Christianity, Catholics have the weight of criticism, while the other "confessions" and scurry to hide. When the abortion, for example, debate, the Catholic Church is inevitably the target of pro-abortions despite being banned in all major world religions-Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judiasm .. .
So I am a little surprised to hear that now, besides all the calamities of the world, the Church is responsible for the poor living conditions in Europe in the 14th century … any partner ….
Proud to be Catholic!
I do not know what their ancestors did at the time to do? They were the heroes?
