Summary

• During the medieval times in Europe everything
  revolved around Christianity. This is because the
  local churches were what shaped the area and also
  some on politics. But since it had an impact on
  politics as well monks ended up having another
  system called religious order. All of this led to
  the creation of natural law and universities
  being built to see if religious faith and
  intellectual reason had some sort of connection.
