Why did the common people oppose the church ?
Please give the correct ans .. explain briefly .
Answers
Critics claimed Leaders were corrupt. Popes spent extravagantly on pleasure and fought wars. Lower clergy poorly educated and broke priestly vows. You just studied 9 terms!
Ans:
Some people felt that the Catholic Church was more interested in money and power than in saving souls. For example, the church sold 'indulgences' for those who had committed sins. For a fine, paid to the church, your sin would be forgiven and when you died, the Church said that you would go to heaven.
The main points of criticism were:
•The Bible was only printed in Latin, and not in the local language.
•The church sold tickets of indulgences (forgiveness) from sins for money.
•Religious posts were often sold to whoever was willing to pay the most money for them, see Simony.
