Why did people find it difficult to change religions in the middle ages?

For many people, there was no alternative but the Church in which they were raised.


Were there other religions insted of catholic during the middle ages?

There were a lot of Muslims in Spain during the Middle Ages, and in the Balkans during the late Middle Ages. There were a lot of Jews through many parts of Europe during much of the Middle Ages. In the start of the Middle Ages, there were still some pagans in the area that had been the Roman Empire, and pagans remained in northern and eastern Europe. There were other Christian groups. The Coptic Orthodox Church and the Oriental Orthodox Church were two that remain today. There were also other Churches, like the Celtic Church, and a variety of heretical organization, such as the Cathars, that were more ephemeral.


What was the most powerful church in in Europe during the middle kingdom and why?

If you mean during the Middle Ages, the answer is definitely the Catholic Church. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Church filled in many of the missing roles in society: military, education etc. In fact, in many ways, even the kings were subject to the authority of the Church. Some European countries became Protestant at the end of the Middle Ages, but for roughly 1,000 years Catholicism pretty much ran the show in Europe.


How did the Medieval church treat peasants and royalty differently?

In the Middle Ages, royalty had access to aspects of the Church to which the peasants did not have. For example, many monarchs had a priest who acted as the monarch's personal confessor.


Was church compulsory in the Middle Ages?

Church attendance was probably compulsory in some medieval countries, but clearly was not in many. The Middle Ages was a period in the history of Europe that lasted about 1000 years. During this time, the laws of countries changed a lot, and there were many countries. Not all countries in Europe were Christian, and from a practical point of view, many countries were tolerant of religions other than Christianity.

Why were many uneducated about church affairs in the middle ages?

In the middle ages, there was no public education, and most people did not have the money or spare time with which to pursue an education. The church did not educate the public either, because they found it useful to be the sole custodians of religious knowledge. It was difficult to dispute the authority of the church, with very little knowledge about the church or its doctrine. An illiterate public does not have the resources to analyse religious issues, and therefore is inclined to let the educated clergy think for them.
