Why was the church during the Renaissance resistant to change?
The Renaissance was a long period that was dominated by a passion for returning to pre-Christian philosophies, languages, and thought. The early Humanists rejected the Scholastics and their whole school of though. They rejected Aristotle's idea that man was a "rational animal", the humanists venerated the imagination as highly as the analytic faculty, emphasizing rhetoric - the art of persuasion and poetry to move the heart rejecting the Scholastics "sterile attempts at definition". Thus the humanists adopted Plato and learned Greek, they re-examined the Scriptures through methods of literary analysis: the precise meaning of words, metaphors, and other poetic qualities. Although most of the first humanists remained believing Catholics, the movement inevitably led away from Christianity, and the scholastics were very suspicious of the entire movement from the beginning. This deifying of ancient pagan culture and philosophy weakened the logic of Christianity eventually giving rise to the protestant heresy and nearly simultaneously to secularism which rejected God in toto, much less Christianity. This was the thinking that turned the great Age of Faith into the Dark Ages as people turned against the Church and Christ rejected the immense faith and learning of the great Catholic scholars of that period.
Were ancient roman Christians rich or poor?
Poor. Christianity was indeed a religion for poor and underprivileged people at first. Mainly people with no influence on politics or anything, with no money, turned easily to Christians. Christianity promised remission and good afterlife to people who didn't do so well in real life. People who first turned to Chistianity were slaves, women (who had much smaller opportunities than men in ancient times), sick and disadvantaged people, and poor ones. Later emperor Constantine the Great developed the Edict of Milan in 313, which allowed Christians to practise their religion without persecution, which had happened before in the Empire. Constantine made Christianity a state religion and turned to a Christian himself, although not until his 40s. After that conditions for Christians improved vastly, and all people of Roman Empire had to turn to Christianity.

How can you save other people from going to hell?
I am assuming that you are talking about Christianity here..You can't save people from going to hell. Only Jesus can. But you can help in their decision of becoming a Christian by praying for them and setting a good example. One of the reasons people are so turned away from the idea of Christianity is because Christians who try to convert them are very preachy. I would suggest that you NOT do this.
