Medieval Church
The Catholic Church was very rich and powerful during the Middle Ages. It was the one unifying source at the time. The Church ran almost every ones daily lives. People could only have ceremonies performed by a priest such as getting married. Who ever wanted these ceremonies performed had to pay for it to be done.
For a church to be considered to be a cathedral a bishop must be working it that church. Construction for a church could last up to 200 years. They had very high walls and ceilings and were built with a gothic style of architecture. Churches had huge stained glass windows and some of the greatest art that was produced at the time were in churches. |
