Catholic Piety
• Religion played a large role in community life and popular culture.
• People joined in religious festivals• Some priests wanted to fix some popular
religious practices that they saw as more superstitious than religious.
• Attempted changes on this varied widely because pious peasants saw this as an attack on their true faith.
