During the Middle Ages, church authorities played a central role in organizing and conducting religious services, which were integral to community life. Services were typically held in Latin, and included rituals such as the Mass, which involved the Eucharist, prayers, and readings from scripture. Clergy members, including priests and bishops, were responsible for leading these services, ensuring adherence to doctrine, and providing spiritual guidance to the laity.
