Answer: a.Lending money and charging interest went against a teaching of the Catholic Church and was seen as sinful.

Explanation:

Even during the Middle Ages, Jews were a marginalized ethnic group in Europe. They were forced to do many jobs that no one else wanted. One of those jobs is banking. This work in itself implies interest, so the church considered this work a sin. So the Jews did those jobs. Jews also collected taxes in many places. Such prejudices created many prejudices against Jews.

People who do not know Christ or accept Him _______ .
Bad White [126]
I believe you have to answer this question under your own opinion. How I see it I believe it would be your third option, but if it was to be answered as though one is super religious it would be the second option. I'm sorry I'm not much help, but at least it is narrowed to two options and you can decide which one.

3. What methods or tactics might a modem-day leader use to try to control his or her country and people
Alla [95]

Answer:

A modern day leader can use physical and psychological violence, remove an  individual and collective liberties from citizens, create fear and establish a government based on totalitarianism (meaning-a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state).

Explanation:

To control a population, a modern-leader can base his government on physical and psychological violence. (not a great way if you ask me!) The leader can exercise constant and permanent vigilance over the life of the citizens, controlling even the personal and family life of certain people, that is, an extreme and excessive case of authoritarianism.

In addition, this leader can end the freedom of the population, establish a strong restriction in the media, among other many other things.
