During the Renaissance, many churches frowned upon the use of instruments in worship primarily due to their association with secular music and the belief that they could distract from the spiritual message of hymns. Additionally, some church leaders viewed instruments as potentially leading to emotional excess or a lack of reverence in worship. The emphasis was on vocal music, particularly plainchant and polyphony, which was considered more suitable for conveying the sacred texts. Ultimately, the church aimed to maintain a focused and solemn atmosphere in religious settings.
During the Middle Ages and Renaissance in Europe women worshipped in churches.
The Protestants left the Roman Catholic Church after the Middle Ages ended, during the Renaissance.
The Renaissance was not labeled the "dark ages". Renaissance means "rebrith" and it came AFTER the "dark ages or the middle ages."
Cathedrals were very large churches, which were used as other churches were except in one respect. They were the churches administered by bishops instead of priests, the bishops being the central authorities for dioceses, which were ecclesiastical areas analogous to counties.
There was a certain overlap between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, particularly in Italy, where the Renaissance began about a hundred years before the Middle Ages ended. So there was a point when they were the same. Fashions change, however, and this was especially true in both the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Apart from that bit of overlap, clothing of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages were different.

The Renaissance
The Renaissance
Renaissance thought emphasized humanism, focusing on individual potential and the study of classical texts, contrasting with the Middle Ages' emphasis on religious doctrine and collective values. This shift led to a greater appreciation for secular subjects and the human experience. Musically, Renaissance compositions featured greater use of harmony, polyphony, and expressive melodies, moving away from the more monophonic and chant-based styles of the Middle Ages. The rise of instruments and more complex vocal arrangements in the Renaissance also contributed to a richer and more varied sound.
