Because common people didn’t read, they had no way to verify what scripture said. These were men of the church; they should have integrity. Luther recognized…
a time of noteworthy achievements. As a result, it has been given many labels which include, Dark Ages, Golden Age, Feudalism, and the Age of Faith. The Age of Faith in my opinion is what the Middle Ages is known for because of the huge impact the Church and religion had on people's lives. The Middle Ages has been referred to as the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages was a period of time after the fall of Rome where there were no advancements and no innovations were being made. For example in…

The Golden Age was a period of great flowering in Spanish Art. It is likely that the Golden Age has begun in the mid-fourteenth century and ended around the sixteenth century with the end of the Habsburg Dynasty (Williams 158). The picaresque, romantic and mystical literature is one of the genres of this period, which obtained a place in the universal stage, after contributing to the art of literature that is known today. However, when the Spanish art was booming, politics and economy was in…
Roman Catholic Church experienced a major split in the early 16th century. Humanism, which expanded the power of writing and reasoning beyond religious scholars, along with the consequences of plagues and wars, and the secular involvement and corruption of the Church led many to lose credibility in the what-was-then-current establishment of Christianity. One of the people that were unhappy with the church was Martin Luther, who in the early 1500s posted his Ninety-Five Theses on a church doors…

However, a more prominent theme in the Canterbury Tales is that the Church was in a corrupt state. The Institutional church is well represented in the Canterbury tales.
