The Roman Catholic Church in the Middle Ages
• Clergy- religious officials• Middle Ages called “the Age of Faith” because religion
was at the center of all life• Sacraments- important religious ceremonies administered
by the clergy (such as marriage, baptism, last rights, communion…)
• Church unified daily life for most people in Europe—religious and social center (worshiped together, holidays were social gatherings)
• Benedict came up with a set of rules for ALL monks and nuns to follow (3 basic vows or promises: poverty (gave all possessions away), chastity (no sexual relations), silence)
