Medieval Religion

In medieval times, being against the Church could have severe consequences, as the Church held significant power over both spiritual and temporal matters. A person expressing dissent might face excommunication, which would bar them from participating in sacraments and lead to social ostracism. Additionally, they could be subjected to trials for heresy, which could result in imprisonment, torture, or even execution. The Church's influence meant that opposition could also provoke backlash from the community and local authorities.

In medieval times, a novice was typically a young person entering a religious order, undergoing a period of training and spiritual formation before becoming a full member. This stage allowed novices to learn the customs, rules, and practices of the order while testing their commitment to the monastic life. Novices were often involved in various tasks within the monastery, helping with daily operations, and participating in communal prayers and rituals. This period was crucial for their personal development and integration into the religious community.

I'm sorry, but I can't provide specific content from textbooks or copyrighted materials. However, I can help summarize the topics typically covered in medieval history or answer any specific questions you might have!

Oh, dude, back in medieval times, churches were decked out with all sorts of fancy stuff. They had colorful stained glass windows, intricate wood carvings, and elaborate tapestries. Why? Well, I guess they wanted to impress Big Man upstairs or maybe just show off to the peasants. Who knows, man, those medieval folks were wild.

Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was killed by four knights inside Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170. The weapons used in his murder were swords, as the knights struck him multiple times with their blades, resulting in his death. This brutal act was a culmination of longstanding tensions between Becket and King Henry II of England.

Interpretation in Christianity involves understanding and applying the teachings of the Bible to modern contexts and issues. It has influenced key theological developments and led to various denominational differences within Christianity. Interpretation also allows for the evolving understanding of core beliefs and practices within the faith.

The rise of medieval churches was influenced by several factors, including the growing power and influence of the Christian Church in Europe, as well as the need for centralized authority and social cohesion during a time of political instability. Additionally, the conversion of rulers and the spread of Christianity played a role in the expansion of churches and monasteries during this period. These institutions provided spiritual guidance, social services, and served as centers of learning and cultural preservation.

look their are several things you have to take into account

A: just because the gun is high calibre does not mean it can punch through armor

B: a gun may be the same calibre as another one however one of them may be armor piercing

C: depends what bullet you use some may be expanding non expanding or armour piercing

however in calibre probably a 50 cal vickers machine gun i know its not an assault rifle but it is the highest calibre automatic gun in the world

the highest armor peircing would be an AR-15 semi automatic rifle

and the most deadly would probably be a Famas because of its high fire rate

i know the next gun isn't even automatic but its high powered and can punch through 10 centimetres of Kevlar if youre in America that's about four inches its a barreta 50 cal sniper

however the most powerful gun would be a GAU-8 i wont tell you because you wont belive but just follow the link

^^^^ don't listen to the guy above me he doesn't know what he's talking about... the armor piercing ability might or might not depend on the gun. for example, the 5.56 (chambered in both the famas and ar-15) will perform differently in both rifles since the 5.56 is velocity dependent. the 5.45x39mm however is an example of a round that performs very similarly between different barrel lengths. you also have to take into account what brand the ammo is, as well as what type. green tip 5.56 is the best for penetration. also, the famas is crap... fire rate doesn't matter since full auto isn't used by a rifleman 99% of the time, and also since there are 5.56 rifles out there with a higher fire rate so idk what he was getting at... but the most "powerful" (As in damaging to soft or hard targets?) would be the 5.56 out of a proper barrel length (20 inches on a standard M16) in the case of soft targets (flesh). the 5.56 penetrates a few inches and then fragments and splits causing massive permanent wound cavities that far surpass that of intermediate cartridges bigger than it. a 7.62x39mm. but for hard targets (such as cover) a 7.62 would be a better choice.

People in Church do several things. First of all, they praise God and give him glory for his love and compassion. Also, the pastor reads scriptures on several topics every Sunday (or whenever church is held) to the people and helps people gain a better understanding of the Bible and what it truly means to be a Christian. Being in Church is about praising Jesus Christ and thanking him for what we have in our lives. In addition to the above: Firstly worship comes first. This involves praising God and thanking him for his love. It involves prayer, confessing what we have done wrong and receiving God's forgiveness. we sing - hymns, worship songs and other songs in praise or in prayer to god. Also, we hear the Bible read each time we meet, and explained, through a sermon or talk. At something called 'Holy Communion' ( a service held on some days) we re-enact Christ's last supper by breaking bread and drinking wine as a seal of his new covenant with us. In the bible jesus said 'do this to remember me' ...and so we do. In addition to worship, we have fun! We meet for social occasions - coffee after each service, for social gatherings like coffee mornings, meals, concerts, talks (on any topic - not just Christian), for trips (like the theatre - block bookings are cheaper!) weekends away as a group of Christians, suppers, games evenings, sports, and so on. Great friendships have been made in Christian social gatherings. We meet for study - for studying the Bible and what it means to be a Christian. We meet for courses introducing Christianity to others who are searching. We serve a local community (the area served by our church is on a run-down housing estate) through practical help, spiritual guidance and much prayer. We raise funds - not only for our own use as a church like heating, lighting etc (we do not have any income from any other sources except our own giving and by raising funds) but also in order that we can help others. We pledge at least 10% of our Church income for charity - both here and abroad, although we usually give more. As an example one of the 17 charities we helped last year was to help train a nurse in Zambia for just over a year. These are just a few of the activities in my own church.... who said that Christianity is boring?!

the church provided the sense of stability unity and order
I think that it replaced previous institutions of education, culture and religion (not that education or culture is non-Catholic). In many ways the Catholic church helped preserve literacy and the arts. The Roman Catholic religion was the main source of faith and values for Western Europe.

Norman knights, priests and advisors were invited to come to England by king Edward the Confessor in the year 1051 - they were arrogant, aggressive and universally hated by the English. Edward had the idea of creating a Norman "buffer zone" in Herefordshire and along the Welsh border, since the Welsh had been raiding into England and causing much trouble.

The first castles in England were built here and the Normans attempted to train the local English troops in fighting as mounted cavalry, with disastrous and comical results.

Popular hatred for these first Normans on English soil resulted in an armed uprising against them in 1052, when most of them fled back to Normandy.

Then there were no knights in England until the Norman invasion of 14 years later:

When? It was on 29th September 1066.

Where? At Bulverhithe, Pevensey Bay, Sussex.

Knights and the feudal system were a feature of the culture of continental Europe and the Normans copied the idea from their French hosts. They then brought those ideas (and more) to England.

The Black Plague, also known as the Black Death, was a devastating pandemic caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis that spread across Europe in the 14th century. It is estimated to have killed 25-30 million people, resulting in massive population loss and social upheaval. Symptoms included fever, chills, weakness, and eventually led to painful black swellings (buboes) in the lymph nodes, giving the disease its name.

Yes, you can auction your own home if you meet the legal requirements in your area and work with a licensed auctioneer. Auctioning your home can be a way to potentially sell it quickly and set a specific timeline for the sale process.

If your name is the only name on the deed, then no. It depends upon the state in which you reside. Generally property obtained before a marriage is considered solely owned by the deed holder if the new spouse is not added to the property title. However, in some CP states spouses have been successful in gaining property rights even when they were not a title holder or privy to the purchase of said property of the "owner spouse" before the marriage.

it's more of a matter of opinion, many things could affect a battle between a samurai and a knight, such as weather, terrain, etc...personally, i think that the samurai would be at an advantage in any scenario. The samurai is equipped with excellent, light armour and his sword, or katana, is much lighter, stronger and longer than the knight's. In the end, the samurai would be dancing circles around knight while the knight would be awkwardly swinging his longsword, trying to hit the samurai. The samurai is also trained in a way so that he is an unstoppable killing machine.

The oldest German University is not situated in Germany, but in Austria - the University of Vienna, founded 1365.

The duty of a monk is to pray.

Particularly the monk chants the Psalms in what is called the Divine Office (Work of God).

A typical traditional Catholic monastic prayer day looks like this:

3:30 AM Vigils (12 Psalms)

then about an hour for private prayer

6:00 AM Lauds (Morning prayer, 5 Psalms)

7:30 AM Prime (3 Psalms)

9:00 AM Tierce (3 Psalms)

9:30 AM Holy Eucharist

12:00 PM Sext (3 Psalms)

3:00 PM None (3 Psalms)

6:00 PM Vespers (Evening Prayer, 4 or 5 Psalms)

7:45 PM Compline (Night Prayer, 3 Psalms)

Of course, each monastery has it's own prayer schedule... the one above is just typical for traditional monasteries.

Besides public communal prayer (Liturgy) the monk also is called by his vocation to UNCEASING prayer (Prayer of the Heart). It is a continual remembrance of the presence of God, a continual (sometimes sub-conscious) awareness of God's loving presence and protection... A continual attitude of Adoration and Worship... this is the job of the monk.... to make his heart a continual sacrifice of Praise to God the Father, through Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit.

So, PRAYER is the one work of the monk.

Druids were members of the priestly and learned classes of Western Europe, Britain and Ireland. They combined the duties of priest, scholar and teacher.

The "civilization" also had warriors, who, at times of war, would use body paints. I do not know why they did this though but if you do please feel free to delete this.

According to Edward Grim, friend and confident of Thomas Becket, and present at his death; the Archbishop was killed by chopping blow to the head, with a sword, exposing brain matter as Becket was in repose on his knees in prayer before his attackers. History tells us Grim was injured in the arm by the very blow that slayed Becket.

No, "noble" is not another name for king. "Noble" typically refers to a person of high social rank or title, often associated with aristocracy or nobility, while "king" specifically refers to a male monarch who rules a kingdom or country.

Tything Dues

The Black Death was a pandemic (an epidemic spreading over a large area) that killed millions of people. It started in Europe in 1347, and lasted until 1351. Almost one out of every three people in Europe got the disease and died. This means about 25 million people died from it in Europe alone.
