The Catholic Church was the dominant institution in Europe during the Middle Ages and wielded significant political power. Bishops and other high-ranking clergy often sat on kings' councils and helped govern. Monasteries were run according to St. Benedict's rules, with monks and nuns taking vows of poverty, chastery, and obedience. Pilgrimages to holy sites were also an important part of religious life. The Crusades were a series of wars between Christians and Muslims over control of holy sites in Palestine. In response to heresy, the Inquisition was established in 1233 to investigate and punish those accused of holding beliefs contrary to Church doctrine.

History of the First Crusade Era
Hist. 6543, History of the Crusades
Danny Kopp
September 26, 2011
The decline and eventual fall of Rome in 476 shattered the secular government in the
West, but the Eastern Roman Empire remained under the control of Constantinople. During the
11
th
century, the Roman Emperors maintained control of their ever shrinking realm due to
foreign incursions. Nomads, Muslims and Latin Christians remained adversaries of the Empire,
but in the late 11
th
century the situation finally caused a mass migration of pilgrims from the
West through the Byzantine Empire on their way to Jerusalem that upset the balance of power in
the Levant. Viewed as mercenaries by Byzantines, marauders in the Balkans and barbarian
invaders by the Muslims, the waves of armed pilgrims trekked on their mission for Christ.
The reasons for the Crusades have been misinterpreted, but certainly not more than they
were misconstrued by the contemporary groups of people who were involved. The confusion
among leaders, crusaders and civilians alike, were rooted in the cultural heritage of the respective
groups. To adequately understand the era of the First Crusade, one must consider the
background of the Western Europeans, Byzantines, and Muslim participants because all of these
groups met, argued and fought across Southern Europe, the Levant and Anatolia. To appreciate
the thoughts of the crusaders one must ask why any person would sell out and trudge three
thousand miles over hellish terrain, devastate the lives and lands of everyone along the path and
finally battle to win a city in the heart of enemy territory? The answer is often debated, but
significant study of the forming society in Western Europe yields only one answer, religion.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire due to the infiltration of the barbarian tribes,
the only significant remainder of government was the Latin Christian Church.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

2. The church The Catholic Church was the only church in Europe during the Middle Ages, and it had its own laws and large coffers. Church leaders such as bishops and archbishops sat on the king's council and played leading roles in government. Bishops, who were often wealthy and came from noble families, ruled over groups of parishes called "diocese." Parish priests, on the other hand, came from humbler backgrounds and often had little education. The village priest tended to the sick and indigent and, if he was able, taught Latin and the Bible to the youth of the village.
3. Role of the Church in Government Often, in the Middle Ages, the churches and governments ruled together. Bishops and Abbots would read and write for kings and often became vassals. Local priests were appointed by local lords, and so were expected to uphold their wishes. Thus, the role of the church and rulers was interconnected.
4. Monks and Nuns Monasteries in the Middle Ages were based on the rules set down by St. Benedict in the sixth century. The monks became known as Benedictines and took vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience to their leaders. They were required to perform manual labor and were forbidden to own property, leave the monastery, or become entangled in the concerns of society. Daily tasks were often carried out in silence. Monks and their female counterparts, nuns, who lived in convents, provided for the less-fortunate members of the community. Monasteries and nunneries were safe havens for pilgrims and other travelers.

6. Pilgrimages Pilgrimages were an important part of religious life in the Middle Ages. Many people took journeys to visit holy shrines such as the Church of St. James at Santiago de Compostela in Spain, the Canterbury cathedral in England, and sites in Jerusalem and Rome. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales is a series of stories told by 30 pilgrims as they traveled to Canterbury.

8. Knights The knight was one of three types of fighting men during the middle ages: Knights, Foot Soldiers, and Archers. The medieval knight was the equivalent of the modern tank. He was covered in multiple layers of armor, and could plow through foot soldiers standing in his way. No single foot soldier or archer could stand up to any one knight. Knights were also generally the wealthiest of the three types of soldiers. This was for a good reason. It was terribly expensive to be a knight. The war horse alone could cost the equivalent of a small airplane. Armor, shields, and weapons were also very expensive. Becoming a knight was part of the feudal agreement. In return for military service, the knight received a fief. In the late middle ages, many prospective knights began to pay "shield money" to their lord so that they wouldn't have to serve in the king's army. The money was then used to create a professional army that was paid and supported by the king. These knights often fought more for pillaging than for army wages. When they captured a city, they were allowed to ransack it, stealing goods and valuables.

10. The crusades The Crusades were wars between Christians and Muslims, fought in Palestine. In 1071, Turkish Muslims captured Jerusalem. The Muslims stopped the Christians from visiting the holy places in Palestine. Naturally, Christian rulers in Europe were very angry about this. The Byzantine emperor in Constantinople asked the Pope to help him drive the Turks from the Holy Land. Peter the Hermit and the Pope started the first Crusade. Cleverly, Pope Urban II said that he would forgive the sins of all people who went and fought in the Holy Land.

12. The inquisition In 1233 a church court, or Inquisition, was set up by Pope Gregory IX to end heresy, or beliefs that the church thought was wrong. It was primarily in response to heresy of the Albigenses, a religious sect of southern France. They were Christian heretics who believed in the coexistence of two ultimate principles, good and evil. They held that matter was evil and that Jesus only seemed to have a body. Over the next 100 years the Inquisition slowly brought the sect to an end. People suspected of heresy had one month to confess; those accused came before the Inquisition until they confessed. They were punished by being whipped or sent to prison, but were welcomed back into the Church.
