Medieval Religion
Religion in the medieval period is frequently depicted as a "time of ignorance and superstition," defying reason and logic. While Christianity and its denominations made up the majority of medieval religion, Germanic paganism and Islam also existed.

What was a monks status in medieval times?
Monks belonged to the Church, meaning that they could not be accused, tried or sentenced under civil law. They were subject only to Canon Law (Church Law), where the death sentence was not an option.
Their status as clerics set monks, abbots, priors, bishops, archbishops, priests, deacons and archdeacons apart from all other elements of society - they did not fit into the feudal system but alongside it.

A cottar was very like a serf, who worked on the land in exchange for a place to live, food, and protection. In ancient times, a distinction was drawn between the two, but it is unclear today what the distinction was. In some places, cottars were freemen, and it may be that the distinction between a cottar and a serf was that the cottar was not bound to the land, and could leave, if he wished, to go somewhere else.
During medieval times who or what was tied to the land?
Serfs, who were little better than slaves!
MoreI would have to disagree that they were little better than slaves. For example, they had a right to a place to live and fields to farm, and could not be evicted without due cause. If the land was sold, the new owner had to respect their rights to use it. They had a right to be protected. In many places, the reeve was elected by the serfs. And in many places, if they left, they were considered free after a year.Please see the links below.
It was not called the Catholic Church in the medieval period - it was simply the Church or the Church of Rome.
Mass was celebrated by priests every day; the Holy Offices included Prime (at around 6 in the morning), Tierce (at about 9) and Sext (at about 12 noon). The names reflect the classical Roman way of splitting up the day: the first hour (primus) was 6 am, the third hour (tertius) was 9 am and the sixth hour (sextus) was at noon.
Each Holy office consisted of prayers, set phrases and responses and several of the Psalms from the Bible, which served as a ready-made hymn book - but always sung in Latin.

What was the only institution that survived the fall of the empire in the church of the middle ages?
There was no Church in the Middle Ages that could really be considered the only Church. The Catholic Church was clearly the largest and most important until it split into the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church in 1054, after which the two were about the same size and importance. There were a number of other church organizations, however, and these included the Coptic Church and the Oriental Orthodox Church, among others, which have survived to the present. There were other church organizations, such as the Celtic Church, which were subsumed by the Catholic Church during the Early Middle Ages. And there were heretic church organizations, such as the Catharists, during the entire period.

Who were people who were not free in medieval England?
In medieval England, people who were not free included serfs and villeins, who were bound to the land and subject to the control of their lords. They were required to work the lord's fields and provide various services without the freedom to leave without permission. Additionally, certain groups, such as criminals or those in debt, could also lose their freedom and be subjected to servitude or imprisonment. Overall, social hierarchy and feudal obligations significantly restricted personal liberties during this period.
If you grew up Catholic but left the Church, and in doing so didn't speak out contrary to the Church or cause public scandal, all you need to do is enter into the Sacrament of Reconcilliation with a priest, explain your situation, and then be welcomed back home. If you're thinking of returning to the Church, welcome back.
What was Medieval france's royal banner?
The ORIFLAMME. The oriflamme was a sacred banner used by the kings of France in the Middle Ages in times of great danger. It was distinct from the heraldic banner of the French kings (semis of fleur-de-lys on azure, as expected). Its history is fairly continuous from 1124 onward, when it is first mentioned. It is first described in 1225. It consists of two parts: a gilded lance, to which is attached a silk banner, red with green fringes. The floating end of the banner splits into two or more trailing strips. The name, aurea flamma, conflates the banner (flamma) and the color of the lance. The banner is sometimes represented as attached vertically to the lance, and sometimes (especially in the 19th c.) as attached to a horizontal bar, itself suspended from the lance. It was deposited in the abbey of Saint-Denis, north of Paris, where kings of France were buried, next to the relics of Denis who evangelized the area. When going to war, the French king would come to Saint-Denis to "raise the banner". The last time it was raised was in the late 15th c. It was destroyed during the Revolution.

In medieval times what was the role of the Cardinals?
A cardinal is a senior ecclesiastical official, usually a bishop, of the Catholic Church. They are collectively known as the College of Cardinals, which as a body elects a new pope. The duties of the cardinals include attending the meetings of the College and making themselves available individually or collectively to the pope if he requests their counsel. Most cardinals have additional duties, such as leading a diocese or archdiocese or running a department of the Roman Curia.
A cardinal's other main function is electing the pope whenever, by death or resignation, the seat becomes vacant. In 1059, the right of electing the pope was reserved to the principal clergy of Rome and the bishops of the seven suburbicarian sees. During the sede vacante, the period between a pope's death and the election of his successor, the day-to-day governance of the Church as a whole is in the hands of the College of Cardinals. The right to enter the conclave of cardinals who elect the pope is now limited to those who are not over 80 years old on the day of the pope's death or resignation.
The term "cardinal" at one time applied to any priest permanently assigned or incardinated to a church,[1] or specifically to the senior priest of an important church, based on the Latin cardo (hinge), meaning "principal" or "chief". The term was applied in this sense as early as the ninth century to the priests of the tituli (parishes) of the diocese of Rome.[1] In the twelfth century the practice of appointing ecclesiastics from outside Rome as cardinals began, with each of them being assigned a church in Rome as his titular church, or being linked with one of the suburbicarian dioceses, while still being incardinated in a diocese other than that of Rome.
Why would a dying person receive comfort from a cross?
If they are saved (Catholic or Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran) they are receiving comfort from the fact that Christ died for them, and thanks be to Him, they are going to heaven to live with Him eternally. He died for everyone, including the dying people as well as those who reject Him, and if that dying person accepted Him, that person can die in peace.
What if you do not like the Catholic Church?
If you don't like the Catholic Church, that is entirely your prerogative. How you choose to manifest this is entirely up to you as well. Most religious bodies and organizations tend to invoke strong reactions and responses, so your reaction is quite normal. It may be worth your while to look into why you do not like the Catholic Church in order that you can communicate your feelings and reasonings to others. This will cause others to better respect and understand your views. Or perhaps, with further research, you will discover what you do not like is not really there, or there are things about the Church you did not initially consider or know about.
== I love the Catholic Church. As for those who do not I will pray for your souls.
How important was the Church in a knight's life?
There were many different kinds of knights, and the importance of religion varied according to they kind they were and the inclinations of their persons.
There were religious orders of knights, such as the Knights Templar, who were armored monks. They answered to a religious hierarchy, took vows of poverty and chastity, and prayed, just as other monks did. But the Templars slept in their armor (or at least their chain mail), which made it much less comfortable to sleep.
Other orders of knights had various religious duties. But common knights, who were not members of specific orders, were relatively wealthy young men, wealthy enough to equip themselves, who happened to be part of a heavy cavalry in time of war. You can bet at least some of these were not very impressed by religion, though they might not have been willing to admit it.

What did the monks copy and preserv in monasteries?
The simplistic answer is "books" but the truth is more complex.
Medieval monastic scribes had access to much older books dating back to Carolignian and Byzantine times, which were themselves often copies of classical Roman and Greek texts; these were copied and re-copied, but often with updates and changes added; 12th century scribes at Canterbury made many copies of the much older Utrect Psalter, but often added their own (12th century) illustrations instead of copying the originals.
Monastic scribes also copied legal documents, charters, cartularies, letters, wills, land grants and many other manuscripts that were not books. In the case of a legal document, each of the people mentioned in the case expected to have a copy of the text so many copies had to be made, as well as another for filing away.
It was in the interests of each monastery to preserve the documents that granted its own land and holdings, or later donations of land and property from benefactors. Without documentary evidence to support the claims to such land, the king would be in a position to confiscate it.
Among the many books in monastic libraries would be the writings of the fathers of the Church such as Lanfranc, Bede, Sts Benedict and Jerome, Augustine of Hippo and Gregory the Great. There were also classical Latin writers: Cicero, Ovid, Homer; Bibles, books of psalms, the Gospels and discourses on The Bible stories; there were books of herbs, medical texts, geographies and books on mathematics, science, logic and the law.

How are monks and monasteries related?
Monks always lived in monasteries, which were divided into Abbeys (headed by an abbot) and Priories (smaller places headed by a prior).
Both words come from the Greek word monos, meaning "alone". The earliest Christian monks were solitary hermits living in desert areas of the Middle East; gradually they began to build small communities and live together, but kept the name monastes or monk.
The Cistercian Order in England attempted to preserve this way of life by choosing to build monasteries in remote, secluded and wilderness areas, particularly on the Yorkshire moors. There they could live in a community, but "alone" from the outside world.
