During a period in time known as the Middle Ages the Catholic Church was the subject to ample criticism and displeasure especially among low income families. The Great Schism or separation of the Roman Catholic Chruch into east and west, brought about feelings of distrust to a climatic level. Citizens all across Europe were began to lose their faith in the church's leadership especially with the Pope. A man Martin Luther who had spent his life dedicated to the monastery lifestyle ignited a…

during this time. The notion of witches and witchcraft was a rather cruel one plaguing the 16th and 17th centuries. Poor, old and abnormal looking women were the prime targets for those looking to accuse another of witch craft. Witchcraft contained no benefit to any nation and only created more problems for the countries in the end. The reformation of the church accounted for the largest part of the hysteria shrouding witches. Each country had its own quirks for dealing with witchcraft but all…

The world’s top 100 billionaires earned enough money to end world poverty four times over in 2012. (Oxfam 2) Indeed, it would seem the wealthy have the potential to make the world a better place, yet all too often they squander it. The list is comprised almost entirely of business men and women from around the globe. Tremendously powerful owners and executives who make decisions each day that affect thousands of people. Business executives and shareholders have a great influence on the…

This connects well back to our primary document, in particular Pope Boniface VIII’s Clericis Laicos. In the letter, he describes his infuriation over laymen, that is the Emperor and other secular rulers, and their tendency of opposition towards the clergy. Apparently, in what was of recent time, the secular rulers had been abusing their jurisdiction towards the church, taxing and overall taking advantage of it. He also expresses his dissatisfaction with members of the Church and other…

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth but quickly the earth turned sour. The man he had created turned to sin even while in paradise but God was not caught off guard. God had a plan to reach a people dying from sin and that plan was Missions. So God sent the first missionary. The missionary did all the things missionaries do, he preached, taught, and he prayed for people and they were healed. Often as the missionary was out in public people would flock to him. Quickly he would…

poverty was shaped and forged by my Catholic upbringing. The Church teaches a preferential option for the poor, that we should help the poor. (usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings, 2014) In addition to this, the Church requires a vow of poverty for the clergy; the people that we looked up to, the nuns and the priests, had all taken a vow of poverty. Poverty could be noble, living simply so that others might…

The French Revolution proved to be a greatly tumultuous time for France. To assess 1791 as a turning point is the suggestion that the nature of the revolution had changed and this is true in several cases. The violence of the revolution transitioned from the relatively less vicious, and more symbolic events, like the storming of the Bastille in 1789 where no more than a dozen people were killed to the Danton instigated massacre of about 1,200 Royalists held in Parisian prisons, this move from a…

It is not uncommon for cathedrals in the Byzantine Empire to be used as status of prosperity and power, rather than being solely places of worship. San Vitale is known for the incredible mosaics that create a focus on Justinian, Theodora, and other political figures which make it more of a glorification of the emperor than a religious building. How much decadence and lavishness is acceptable before the focus of this church becomes more about paying respects to the people in power in the time it…

Napoleon Bonaparte and the French Revolution “Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles that direct them.”-Napoleon Bonaparte This quote was said by Napoleon after he got into power on November 9 1799. Before this event France was under major debt and the economy was failing. When the King tried to fix it he brought violence and riots to France. France needed a new ruler with a new purpose…
