Why were the monks and the bishops the only educated people in medieval times?

AnswerThere were a few others, but not much. People didn't know how to read and the Church controlled all the information. The Church also taught the people that they were the link between man and God and it was only through them that man could be saved from his sins. This is one reason why it is so important for people to know how to read and think so no one cancontrol what you know. The medieval church did a really great job of controlling the information that it spanned the entire society from science to the arts. If they didn't know it, then, it was a lie, heresy or didn't exist. There are people today who would love to have that type of control again. AnswerMonks and bishops were certainly not the only educated medieval people. There were many educated people aside from clergy, and in fact there even secular schools. I would suggest looking for more information at the related question, "How were people educated in the middle ages?" Another related question might be of interest, "How were women educated in the middle ages?" Both of these questions have links for further study.


Heaven in medieval times?

The medieval concept of Heaven is much as the modern concept is. The Church has not changed its teachings, and there is really no new information. It is and has been viewed as a place for the departed spirits of good people, who worship God in an attitude of bliss. I think even the harps are included in the medieval ideas on the subject.

A pilgrimage is a journey undertaken for religious reasons. The medieval pilgrimages were very much the same sort of thing as those of ancient or modern times, in that regard.

This connected people from different parts of the world and expanded knowledge.

We really do not know much about the dances of the Middle Ages, because the techniques of recording how people danced, used by more modern dancers and choreographers, did not exist at the time.
