Back in the day people were extremely close minded. Preconceived ideas were essential, judgement was spoken aloud, and equality did not exist. Many people refused to be around individuals that they found to be different and/or did not fit society’s standards of what the norms were. For instance the characters that will be compared have a very close minded view on others and are very quick to assume. The purpose of this paper is to compare the character known as the husband in Cathedral to…

Back in the day kings and emperors were actually not the only rulers that consolidated their power in the high Middle Ages; popes also did, and that was through a series of measures that would make the church more independent of secular control. “Under the leadership of a series of reforming popes in the eleventh century, the church tries to end this practice” (p.267). It was the popes’ efforts that were sometimes challenged by the medieval kings and emperors, in which the wealth of the church…

“The solstices and the equinoxes are important to us. In fact Christians stole the mistletoe from us. When you kiss under the mistletoe, you share a kiss of life, but the Christians use it to steal a kiss from a woman,” she said, “And that is an act of war.” “You’re a Christian,” I said. “I’m a good Catholic, but I respect life in the old ways,” she replied. Then, she went onto explain the Druid community. In the days before our conversion, she told me our clan led our community. We made the…

I attended the church called a Family Of God Baptist church in Panama City Florida. During my spring break, I went to Panama City Florida on my last day there I started my observation. This particular morning around 8:30am on March 26, I went to observe the Sunday worship service on the west campus of this church. I chose the 8:30am service because I'm used to early morning things. I pulled up to the church at least fifteen minutes before worship and there were a lot of cars there. This church…

Initially, the groundbreaking for this building was in 1195, yet was not fully finished until 1230. The structure is still in use to this day. The Western façade on this cathedral is the most grandiose facade in the compilation of the previous cathedrals that have been visited. Cathedral Saint Étienne too has a…

Introduction According to Warren & Bennis (2010), “The constancy of change that drives efforts to reinvent government bureaucracies, church hierarchies, and business practices call for audacious leaders who take a stand for what they believe in” (p.29). As a practicing Catholic, I have noticed that the Church is continuously challenged to redefine the role of the Church in our ever changing society under the leadership of Pope Francis. While it is relatively easy to appreciate the public…

At the heart of the debate concerning women in office, all scholars and pastors address 1 Timothy 2:11-12. Those who do not affirm women in office argues that Paul specifically states "Let women learn in quietness.... I do not permit women to teach or to exercise authority over a man... she is to remain quiet." In order to best understand Paul 's statement, we must focus on three words which are "quietness (ἡσυχίᾳ),"permit (ἐπιτρέπω)," and "exercise authority (αὐθεντεῖν)." "Quietness... (γυνὴ ἐν…

Question 1: Theme: Religious Change and reformation The Tudor period is often known for its religious changes. Religion was changed dramatically through the Tudor period from Catholicism to Henry Catholicism to Protestantism to Catholicism to Protestantism. With each new monarch to the throne, England was on edge as to what the new religion would be. The foundations that led to such a change in religion began with the reigns of the two Tudor Henrys. Through the Henrys, the religious power began…

I decided for my paper that I would touch on a couple different topics that I can relate to as far as religion. The first topic I plan on speaking on is my definition of religion and what I have come to realize. I also plan on speaking about the different beliefs and practices that I have either been a part of or witnessed. By the end of this paper you will be able to see the change of a young me in opposed to me now with a mind of my own. Growing up as a child I believed religion was just going…
