Who were the Flagellants and why were they banned by the Pope?
Kooikeria
The Flagellants were a group of people who traveled from town to town for 33.3 days, publicly scourging themselves with strips of leather tipped with iron spikes as a punishment for the world's sins. They hoped that this would please God to bring peace and good health instead of the suffering caused by the Black Death.
The Pope banned the Flagellants because he feared that the movement would lead to a revolution, as the Flagellants blamed the Church for the wickedness of the plague.
