Question

What caused Christendom to be a troubled realm at the end of the middle ages?

Answer 1

Wicked monarchs, like Henry VIII, tried (unsuccessfully) to destroy the Church, to help them achieve their own twisted ambitions. Even today some politicians are anxious to turn Britain into a pagan/humanist country. Pope Urban II , tried (unsuccessfully) to force those of other faiths to convert, to help them achieve their own twisted ambitions. Even today some priests are anxious to put all the pagans/humanists/atheists to the torch and blame them for all of Britain's ills.
