Question

Which of the following was NOT a cause of popular dissatisfaction with the Roman Catholic Church in the early fifteenth century? Select one: a. the fiscal practices of the papacy b. the moral laxity of the clergy c. the failure of the Church to meet spiritual needs d. increasing austerity and the use of the vernacular within the Church e. the papacy's secular interests

Answer 1

Answer:

D) increasing austerity and the use of the vernacular within the Church

Explanation:

Pope austerity remains the same, and the controlling over mind and body didn't change, likewise, the use of Latin (not the vernacular language) remains the official language during the cults. The main reason for the dissatisfaction with the Church was related to the fiscal practices and the sale of indulgences by the Pope. In other words, the Church loses its mojo.
