How powerful was the Anglo-Saxon church?

History
1 answer:
Sonja [21]3 years ago
8 0

The power of the Church is often over-emphasised. Certainly, the later medieval Church was rich and powerful, and that power was often misused - especially in Europe. Bishops and archbishops were appointed without any training or clerical background, church offices changed hands for cash, and so on. But that was long after our period. The authority of the early medieval Church in England was no different to that of any other landowner.


So how did people in the tenth/eleventh century act towards a cleric? According to the laws of the period, a priest had the rank of thegn (he was one of 'God's thegns'), and a bishop was at least the level of an eolderman. Don't get too misled by Hollywood's image of popular contempt for, and corruption within, the clergy.

hope i helped

bezimeni [28]
Martin Luther was raised in the church with a solid education in the church's teachings and in the art of scholarly debate.  He spent time living as a monk, knowing the Catholic Church's spiritual path from that perspective.  As a monk, he had traveled to Rome and seen the corruption that was evident there, which shocked him.  He had studied deeply to become a Doctor of Theology and taught theology at the University of Wittenberg.  He had the training and stature to contend with the powerful leaders within the Catholic Church, because his own scholarship and skill were second to none.  And he personally had experienced the overwhelming sense of guilt that the scholastic theology of the church had imposed on him, in contrast to the message of grace in Christ that he found when studying the Bible itself.

How did the two crown come about for the Pharaoh? FAST I NEED IT FOR AN ASSIGNMENT DO TODAY
Reptile [31]
I’m not sure what “the two crown” is, but if you mean the double crown, it’s what pharaohs of the first dynasty would wear.
The Double Crown symbolizes the joining of Lower and Upper Egypt, and the pharaoh’s control over both lands.

I’m not sure if this is the answer you were looking for, but if you have another question abt it lmk :)
