The Rule of St Benedict governed the daily routine of all monks in Europe throughout the medieval period. Chapter 16 states:
". . .Ergo his temporibus referamus laudes Creatori nostro super iudicia iustitiæ suæ, id est Matutinis, Prima, Tertia, Sexta, Nona, Vespera, Conpletorios, et nocte surgamus ad confitendum ei"
You can clearly see that the seven daytime Offices (services) are listed, then "and at night let us arise to glorify Him". This gives a total of 8 services, although the night Office and the morning Office (Matins and Lauds) were often held one after the other without a break.
So the correct answer is 8, not 7.
Medieval Monks spread Christianity by many different techniques. Now, if you are talking about Medieval Monks in Europe, then they spread Christianity by telling others mostly. There is a website all about Medieval Monks below.
there were 2 million and 500 catholics
In many countries, The Church was exempt from taxes. Part of Henry VIII's break with the church came over church revenues.
The Medieval era spanned a millennia and many monks lived during that time- there's not going to be any definitive answer. What I can tell you is that common building materials included wood, mud brick, stone, and rushes and that monks' houses were probably built to the method of whichever era they lived in.
Most medieval monks came from well-off or noble families, as the support for monastic life often required financial stability. Many were sent to monasteries as children for education or to fulfill family obligations. However, some monks also came from lower social classes, seeking a life of spirituality and refuge from the hardships of secular life. Overall, the backgrounds of monks varied, but many had connections to the upper echelons of society.

Monks are not very common in the United States with more residing in European countries in old medieval monasteries. But all around the world, the number of active monks or nuns in the brother/sisterhood is decreasing at an alarming rate.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church has had seven sacraments since Our Blessed Lord established the Church at Pentecost, no more, no less. This is not something that the Church can change. So, of course, in medieval times, they had exactly the same as they did at the beginning, and as they do now - Seven: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Matrimony, Holy Orders, and Anointing of the Sick.

Parish refers to the area for which a church is responsible. This dates back to medieval times, when the church parish would often cover the same area as the manor, as the church was often closely associated with the manor - many were built by the lords, and the priests were funded, as well as monks etc., to hold prayers for the lord or the manor, and to hold processions, as well as to organise the peasants. In Louisiana the term parish is used as the equivalent of "county" or "township", a basic unit in the state's government structure.
Yes. Many forms of torture and even death could be inflicted on anyone questioning God or the church.
