The Church taught them that they were born in sin and had to work all of their lives to make sure that they got into heaven. They needed the Church because it was the middle man between them and God. Man couldn't read so the clergy told them about what the bible said and what God wanted. If they didn't follow the teachings of the church they would go to Hell and Hell was the most awful place a person could be. They thought of these places as real ( many people still do today) and that devils existed with them and in them.
