The Roman Catholic Church used the Gregorian Chant as their official music during the Middle Ages. Chanting was monotonous and performed by monks but eventually developed a more melodic sound.

Both were enjoyed at gatherings. Secular music employed flutes, horns, drums and stringed instruments.

What would happen if you questioned the Roman Catholic Church?

Roman Catholic AnswerI don't understand the question, as in what do you mean by the "Roman Catholic Church", and what do you mean by "question". If you are talking about questioning what your local Catholic Church does, say, in the choice of music or vestments on Sunday, I'm sure your pastor would explain his reasons, when asked. If you are talking about questioning the doctrines of the Church, then you have to understand that you are questioning the doctrines of Our Blessed Lord, as He very clearly stated, "He who hears you, hears me." The Roman Catholic Church, as an organization, is the Mystical Body of Christ, and the only thing that it teaches is the doctrine that It has received from God. What would happen to you if you questioned that? Nothing that I know of, you would have to ask a more specific question, as the question, as asked, doesn't make much sense.
