The main responsability of the church was to serve the spiritual needs of the mediaval society.Local prist instructed peasants and townspeople in the faith and provided confort to them in troubled times. The Church taught that all men and women were sinners but that Christians could achieve salvation,or eternal life in heaven,through faith in Jesus,good works,and participation in sacraments,or sacred spiritual rituals.To escape the punishment of hell ,they need to take part in the sacraments of the Church.The Church filled many secular,or worlddly,roles during the Middle Ages.As the largest landholder in Europe,the Church had significant economic power.The Church also gained wealth through the tithe,a tax christians were required to pay that equaled 10 percent of their income
