The Church Shapes Politics and Society

• For many people in the Middle Ages life revolved
  around the local church. The clergy (church
  officials) were very influential on the people.
  Religious ceremonies were often key events in
  peoples lives. (ex, weddings, baptisms)
• When, people died, most of them gave their land
  to the church. This made the church become a
  major feudal lord.

  religious order. Most of their lives were
  dedicated to common rules. However, monks lived
  away from society.

  with everyone. Or even sometimes, mainly the
  sinners, so they could help bring them to
  God. Therefor, two new orders were developed,
  they were called the Dominicans, started

  made some of the most beautiful architectural
  structures ever. They created spires and high
  ceilings with colorful stained glass windows.
