The life of a Medieval Nun was really hard. Becoming one was a commitment for life. The life of a Medieval nun appealed to many different kinds of women in the Middle Ages. During the middle ages, women were usually not well educated. Only some nuns were taught to read and write. There were a couple reasons that they wanted to become a Medieval Nun like, to devote their lives to serving God, to live a life in a secure retreat, and to obey the wishes of their families. All Medieval Nuns led…

Defined by the fathers, church fathers that is, the Patristic Period ran from 100-451 C.E. where church fathers established the theological foundation of the Christian faith. By the fourth century five patriarchates,centers for religious administration had been developed. Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, and Constantinople all were located in the East, leading to a dominance over the West with only Rome. As a result of the Patristic period being a formative period of the christian church many…

The Reconquista inspired the creation of the Catholic State with Catholic rulers. A Catholic Spanish state was created after the Moors were driven out and the Jews were banished from Spain. The Spanish Crown wanted to purify Spain in order to create a Catholic state with Catholic values. In order to build a Catholic state, the Spanish crown had to get rid of another religion and banish any citizen that was not a true Catholic or who practices a different faith in secrecy. This is why, the…

Greetings! Since I can remember I was always enrolled in catholic schools; Catholicism is one of the strongest religious believes in the Hispanic community. Having this formation, I acquired the ethics to forge strong foundations in my life. The religion is one of the most controversial discussions I have found in the psychology world, and personally, I keep my distance from it; knowing that as a society, the theological believes vary in a big percentage, I assume a respectful position and I…

Before watching the movie, I believe that Father Flynn is guilty of something, but not necessarily rape/sexual assault. He could have sinned in a different way or done some other wrongdoing, and that could be the reason he was acting so sketchy. If I was in a court of law, however, I would say he’s innocent because there is not enough solid evidence to prove that he is guilty. His reactions to the accusations and past history with multiple parishes does make me suspect he is guilty of something,…

Ever since it’s creation the christian church had an impact on most all communities that it has been apart of, either good or bad. The church has been a launching pad for world changers, revolutionaries, equal rights activist, politicians, and even slave owners. During the time of legalized slavery throughout the United States, slaveowners were frequently christian and used the bible to justify their actions. Although almost every modern branch of christianity believes that slavery is immoral…

Nobility of the German Nation to gain the support of German nobles who he knew were power hungry. Martin Luther informed them that the Catholic Church was abusing its power and deceiving Christians. He states “It has been devised that the Pope, bishops, priests, and monks are called the spiritual estate; princes, lords, artificers, and peasants, are the temporal estate. This is an artful lie and hypocritical device, but let no one be made afraid by it, and that for this reason: that all…

For many years, people in the LGBTQ+ community and the Catholic church have butted heads. It was even, and to some still is, a known stereotype that these people hate each other and heavily disagree with many viewpoints and subject matters. It has always been a major argument point between the two groups where there would often be heated arguments, debates, and fights about this issue and who is right. Over the years, however, the Catholic church has evolved and a lot of their teachings have…

The History of Catholic women deaconesses and priests There are around 50,000 women deacons that have had parishes all around the eastern part of the Catholic Church during the history of the Catholic Church . Women deacons played an essential role in their community, The catholic church has told us that, because only they as women could enter the women's quarters. Only women could effectively prepare and impact another woman's life, and other women catechumens for their joining the Church…

During fifteenth century Germany the Christian Church ruled all the land. The Church controlled everything during this time including the laws, events and festivities, and controlled the lives of many germans. The Church controlled all of this by the threat of if the people of Germany do not do as the Church says they will go to hell, but if they do as the Church says and they stay on the Church’s good side then they will find themselves in Heaven. The Church also controlled the people of…
