Determine whether the following characteristics describe monks or the pope.
BigorU [14]

Here's your list:

<u>MONKS</u>;

  • lived in monasteries
  • copied manuscripts  of books

<u>THE POPE</u>:

  • considered to be infallible
  • held the most power within  the hierarchy of the church
  • could excommunicate  the king

Some further explanation:

The history of monasticism (the life of monks) goes back at least as far as the 3rd century of Christian history.  St. Anthony was famous in those days for going out into the desert to live by himself, and others followed his example. Beginning in the 4th century, communities of monks began to form to live in community with one another in monasteries.  Copying books was one of their occupations together, along with prayer and daily tasks.

The office of the pope developed out of the position of the Bishop of Rome.  Over time, the Bishop of Rome asserted more and more power over other bishops in the church.  Leo the Great (5th century) and Gregory the Great (end of 6th century) were two key figures in advancing the power of the "universal bishop" of Rome as leader of the whole church.  The doctrine of the pope being "infallible" (unable to be in error) when speaking on matters of faith and doctrine was not officially proclaimed until the First Vatican Council in the 19th century.  However, that belief about the pope's authority had developed long before that, already during the Middle Ages.

Map of the Eastern and Western Roman empires around 330 CE. Areas belonging to the Western Roman Empire include Britain, Gaul, S
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Britain and Gaul

Explanation:

The Byzantine Empire was the eastern part of the Roman Empire that survived throughout the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance. This empire was located in the eastern Mediterranean and its capital was Constantinople. At the death of Emperor Theodosius I, in 395, the Empire was finally divided: Flavio Honorio, his youngest son, inherited the West, with its capital in Rome, while his eldest son, Arcadio, corresponded to the East, with its capital in Constantinople. For most authors, it is from this moment that the history of the Byzantine Empire begins. The Byzantine Empire inherited the regions of Greece, Anatolia, Thrace, Macedonia, and the Middle East. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, and especially under the rule of the emperor Justinian, the Byzantine Empire took an aggressive campaign of reconquest, through which it gained the regions of Northern Africa, Italy, and Southern Spain, ruling over almost the entire Mediterranean Sea. The only regions that were <u>not under Byzantine domain</u> were <u>Gaul (France) and Britain</u>.

What ultimately led to Italy leaving the paris peace conference?
Mars2501 [29]
The Italian Prime Minister Orlando didn't speak English,and as this was the language used by the other 3 members of the Big Four Allied powers,he felt left out and sidelined. It became clear that Britain and France were going to renege on the promises of territorial gains they had made to Italy in 1915 to get Italy to join the war on the Allied side.  France and Britain had come to the conclusion that Italy had been more of a liability than an aset during the war - considerable aid in terms of arms and other supplies had been sent to Italy,as well as thousands of French and British troops,to prevent an Ital;ian collapse.Orlando thus wasn't held in very high regard by Clemenceau or Lloyd George.   So really combination of these factors caused Orlando to walk out of the conference in a huff,feeling he and Italy as a nation had been insulted.
