My favorite text from this semester was the story called “The Pardoner’s Tale” by Geoffrey Chaucer. This is my first favorite text from the semester because of how much Chaucer uses the character of the Pardoner to attack the Roman Catholic church.

As history will already tell, the Roman Catholic church was greedy during the Middle Ages or Dark Ages. So this fits well into the…

No they would be called whatever the person who stood up to the church’s name would most likely be. But, because of Luther the…

Social and economic strife as well as vast advances in literacy and a growing sense of nationalism cultivated European life to be a breeding ground for dissent.…

According to Roberts, the sixteenth century between 1614 and 1651 emerged as the most hostile period for Christian believers. The rules and regulations set by the Shogunate feudal government resulted into the abolishment of Christian faith practice and spread (Roberts 271). The system started by the Tokugawa Hidetada who ordered the expulsion, deportation, and execution of all catechists, missionaries, seminaries, and any other person who refused to refute their Christian faith. In the Diplomacy…
