Because Rome had demanded financial support from England, a nation struggling to raise money to resist a possible French attack. Wycliffe advised his local lord, John of Gaunt, to tell Parliament not to comply. He argued that the church was already too wealthy and that Christ called his disciples to poverty, not wealth. If anyone should keep such taxes, it should be local English authorities.
Such opinions got Wycliffe into trouble, and he was brought to London to answer charges of heresy. The hearing had hardly gotten underway when recriminations on both sides filled the air. Soon they erupted into an open brawl, ending the meeting. Three months later, Pope Gregory XI issued five bulls (church edicts) against Wycliffe, in which Wycliffe was accused on 18 counts and was called "the master of errors."
<span>The narrator uses his imagination to weave an emotional story.</span>
The short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping because the quantity supplied increases when the price rises. ... As a result, there is a positive correlation between the price level and output, which is shown on the short-run aggregate supply curve.
The short-run aggregate supply curve is upward-sloping because it takes some time for input prices and/or wages to adjust. ... When the aggregate demand curve shifts, there will be a short-run change in output, but no long-run shift in output. The price level will change in both the short run and the long run.
As the price level rises, supply increases as firms expand production to increase profits. And as price level falls, supply falls as firm reduce production. For this reason the short-run aggregate supply curve slopes upward.
I hope this helps!!
