What is it called when a man becomes a medieval priest?
For "a man" to become a priest would be called an impossibility - he would first need to be trained and educated and hold various positions within the Church hierarchy in "minor Orders". Only after spending considerable time in this way would he be ordained a priest by a bishop or archbishop.
The word you are looking for is ordained.

When were most chants created during the Middle Ages?
Most of the chants were created during the Early Middle Ages. The best known chants today are the Gregorian chants, which were compiled according to the wishes of Pope Gregory I, who was pope from 590 to 604.

They often faced challenges such as financial instability, especially in poorer parishes, but many found fulfillment in their roles as spiritual leaders and moral guides within their communities.

What was the rewards did the monks get in the medieval time?
Since monks were forbidden to own anything, or have anything they might call their own, or receive anything from anyone without passing it to the superior of the monastery, the idea of monks being given any kind of reward is contrary to the Regula Benedicti (Rule of St Benedict).
Monks sought no reward and simply strove to be worthy to be taken into Heaven when they died; beyond that the idea of reward would be alien to them.
What was the weaver to the church in medieval times?
A weaver was a craftsman who used a loom to weave thread into cloth. In the early middle ages weaving was more commonly a home craft, but during the later part of the middle ages weaving became a regular profession organized into guilds.
Textile production was a major industry in medieval Europe. It was a complex, multi-stage process that involved many different crafts. Merchants served as the organizers and intermediaries of the process, moving goods from craftsman to craftsman. Raw wool or flax was purchased from farmers, and distributed to workers to spin into thread. The thread would then go to a dyer to be colored, and from there to a weaver. The weavers would weave the thread into cloth, and the cloth would then go to a craftsman called a fuller for a cleaning and finishing process. The merchants would then buy the finished cloth back from the fullers, and sell the finished goods to the public.
What were the charges against Templars?
They were Charged with Pagan Practices...
However, after two centuries of defending the Christian faith, the Order met its demise when Philip IV - known as Philip le Belle (the Fair) - sought to destroy the Templars.
Historians are generally in agreement that Philip was motivated by greed rather than his belief that the Templars were corrupt.
Regardless of his motivations, Philip had the Templars arrested on October 13, 1307.
The Templars were tortured and confessions were given. These confessions included:
Trampling and spitting on the cross
Homosexuality and Sodomy
Worshipping an idol
Philip was successful in ridding the Templars of their power and wealth and urged all fellow Christian leaders to do the same thing.
In 1312 the Templars were officially dissolved by Pope Clement V at the Council of Vienne. Although the Templars were not found guilty of the crimes they were charged with, it was felt that the reputation of the Order had fallen to so low a state as to warrant dissolving the Order.

What level of the feudal system was thomas becket at?

What role does a medieval church play in a peasants life?
The church provided the necessities for spiritual beliefs of the peasants, baptism, confirmation, mass, marriage, unction, a funeral, and so on. It provided a place where entertainments happened, in which people could be morally instructed.
The church provided a refuge for those who needed it. The idea of sanctuary was well developed and respected. There are cases of queens, seeking a place to get away from their husbands, moved into monasteries, whose sanctity was respected by the kings. Sanctuary was also provided to peasants who felt a need to get away from whatever cares they had, provided the leaders of the monasteries believed they were in good faith.
Aside from these, the church provided the possibility of a life in which a person could advance without being stuck in the hierarchy of the manorial system. The middle ages were not a time in which an ambitious person could attain social mobility. But the church offered a place where a person could dedicate his life to a job, and if he or she did well, there was a possibility of advancement. There were many bishops, and even a few popes, who arose from very humble beginnings, and their success could be reflected back to their families.
I don't think there is any real evidence indicating that Becket hated Henry II. On the contrary, it looks much more like Becket liked Henry. The problem was not hatred, but the fact that Becket had been given a job with importance to the church, and part of that job included protecting the church and the interests of the church. When Henry sought to acquire those interests for himself, Becket was duty bound not to let him. Becket was stubborn, but he seems to have been acting quite honestly and dispassionately.
