By medieval Catholic Church, I assume you mean a Catholic Church of the architecture of Romanesque (Renaissance) or Gothic (true Medieval) ; Stone construction, high ceilings, large windows, traditional cross floor-plan ( i.e. Notre Dame); or Stone construction, medium ceilings, smaller windows, traditional cross floor-plan, respectively. Not an accual Church in the Medieval Era of time because that would require time travel.
If the parish you are referring to does not have a time in at which to pass a basket around (most likely during the preparation of the gifts), Talk to the pastor and he will direct you to the appropriate person that handles the donations.
It's entirely up to you. Normally the money that you donate will either go to the upkeep of the church or perhaps a charity or community program that the church supports. You are not obliged to, however
The Catholic Church was enthusiastically behind the persecution of all that did not profess to agree with its doctrine especially if they had a little money.
Yes I would donate money to start a christian church only.
Roman Catholic AnswerHenry VIII did not break with the Catholic Church for money.
By living a pious life and performing the rites and rituals of the church (which, in medieval times would have generally been the catholic church in western Europe). Or she could have bought an indulgence form the Pope, if she had money, but, as a peasant, she wouldn't have.
Donate to the church
Yes as long as they are not getting into a legally binding obligation to donate money. If they are promising money to a charity it is not legal because they are not 18. You can however donate to church, the red cross, the bell ringers, or anyone asking for money. You cannot donate and get a tax deduction though.
The Catholic Church regulated interest charged by pawn shops, but was never in the money lending business.
Nope! Not if you don't want to. At least under normal circumstances:) Every long, long, long, long once in a while there is a weird church that requires that you give money, but as a rule, you don't HAVE to (: Don't go to a church that makes you donate money because that is nowhere in the Bible. You want to go to a church that is based off the Bible!
The Catholic Church is not in the business of making money, nor has it ever been in the business of making money. The Catholic Church exists on the contributions of faithful Catholics, she uses that money to build and keep up facilities as needed, and to pay the salaries of people whom she employs. Anything over that is used for charity. The Catholic Church has been the biggest distributor of charity and education consistently for the past 2,000 years.

Give all your money to the church or they'd burn you at the stake
