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.

What led to senator mccarthy's downfall?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Ultimately, Joe McCarthy was using weak evidence to accuse people of being communist. Through his televised questioning of the army, many of whom were war heroes, the public saw the mean-spiritedness of McCarthy’s campaign. Polls showed the American people thought McCarthy devious in his attack of the army. Fed up, McCarthy’s colleagues censured him for dishonoring the Senate, and the hearings came to a close.

this is the correct answer.....

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

-Some forces that may lead to supranationalism include economies of scale, trade agreements, military alliances, and transnational environmental challenges.

-Supranationalism is expressed in the creation of multinational organizations.

-Some forces that may lead to devolution of states include physical geography, ethnic separatism, terrorism, economic and social problems, and irredentism.

-Devolution is expressed in the fragmentation of states into autonomous regions (e.g., Nunavut, Native American Reservations), subnational political-territorial units (e.g., Spain, Belgium, Canada), or Balkanization (e.g., former Yugoslavia, the Caucasus).

-Advances in communication technology have facilitated devolution, supranationalism, and democratization.
