2. What was the role of the Church in peoples lives?

The Church was the most important part in people's lives. They controlled whether or not you went to heaven. They taught people new things and had lots of influence. For example: the Catholic church was so big and influential that the Pope crowned kings and queens of countries. Huge cathedrals were built during the Middle Ages because the church wanted to show off how powerful they were. They also wanted to be able to fit more people inside so that they could make more tithes and they wanted to show that someone important worked there because a cathedral could not be considered a cathedral unless a bishop worked there.
