Use evidence from your exploration of Notre Dame and the content from the lesson to support the following claim.

andriy [413]

The correct and Sample response is: The church was supported by the tithe, and it was also used to fund great building projects such as Notre Dame. Judging by the elaborate art and stained glass windows, it is obvious that it would have cost a great deal of money to build. In addition, it took generations to complete, so many people would have to support its construction. The funds obtained through the practice of simony would have helped pay for this.

I know this will help and good luck with your future questions if you have any let me know I'm her to help.....
