Best Answer

The clergy injected religious symbols and practices into everyday life. Historians believed that this cheapened or vulgarized the religion. Also Clerical drunk-ness, gambling, and indulgence in fancy dress were charges that many priests and those in religious life were charged of. Pluralism also played a role. Pluralism is the act of holding many offices in the church.
