Over the past 2,000 years, Christianity has impacted and influenced my parts of the world today. In fact, Christianity is one the popular religions being practiced in daily life. It makes you ask yourself how did we get here as Christians, what obstacles did we have to take to keep our beliefs. Christianity from its founding up to 1500 had just about 13 centuries. Christianity started out as the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, from the spreading’s of Saint Paul, to Muhammad coming into mecca,…

most important political center of the country because of the increasing demand in art industry, rebuilding new economy system. Most importantly, the art industry in Rome is popularized out of monopoly of knowledge between wealthy people. Also, the pope cardinal of Rome continuously supports artists. The social and political circumstance help artists to develop their own creativity into their works, but still receive the techniques and designs from the Renaissance. The great influence of the…

Charlemagne is often claimed as the greatest ruler in Europe before Napoleon. In her study, Rosamond McKitterick re-examines Charlemagne the ruler and his reputation. She analyses the narrative representations of Charlemagne produced after his death, and thereafter focuses on the evidence from Charlemagne's lifetime concerning the creation of the Carolingian dynasty and the growth of the kingdom, the court and the royal household, communications and identities in the Frankish realm in the…

control the people’s “religious freedom,” much like the opposition trying to control the marchers. The Catholic Counter Reformation took place during the exact time of the Pilgrimage of Grace. Pope Paul III did not implement anything new but did try to reform the church by the use of the existing doctrine. This was Pope Paul’s response to those who were Protestant and those wanting reforms in the church. In the Catholic Counter Reformation the same issue from here and the Pilgrimage of Grace…

Why did The Rule of St. Benedict become universally used by communities of monks and nuns across Europe? I think there were several reasons why “The Rule” became universal. I think that it made life as a monk or nun uniform and universal (in a communitarianism sense). All people (monks and nuns) were financially equal. This occurred during a time that was, historically, a very depressed and poor time. With the fall of the Roman civilization and with the Romans being overrun by barbarians, the…

Church is a central role that plays in a lot of people’s lives but money makes people ruin good things. The Canterbury tales has a lot of characters who aren’t very religious or lie about being religious. Church corruption is when is when people steal money or go to church for their own personal purpose. In the Canterbury tales the characters who are not religious or are apart of the church for personal gain are the Pardoner, The Monk, and the Friar. In the prologue of the Canterbury tales…

St. John Chrysostom was known for his ability of articulating the church’s teaching and being the archbishop of constantinople.Although being a great preacher and church leader, his title and authority soon became his worst enemy which lead to his exile and soon after death. Chrysostom was born in Antioch to a father who was a military officer yet was raised by his mother.When Chrysostom grew up he began to study law yet decided it was not his passion and persuaded theology instead. John used…

Catholic Church has impacted our society in many different aspects. Throughout the era of Western Civilization until 2016, education, politics and art have remained imperative. Without the knowledge and creativeness of our prehistoric Roman Emperors, and Popes the Catholic Church would cease to exist today. The Roman Catholic Church is a contribution to the study of Science. For instance; Father Giambattista was the first person to document the rate of a freely falling body. Jesuits (is a…

The Middle Ages, the era between 500 and 1400 AD, may be viewed as a period of decline, warfare, religious commitment or as 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…
