Today I learned about the Middle Ages and how horrible a time it was in history. Since most of the people in the Middle Ages were Christian, they were all afraid of the pope and other religious figures because, according to the people, could excommunicate anyone who defied them or made them angry in any way. The people lived in fear, especially the poor people who couldn't give money to the church.
The rich people thought they were fine and didn't have to worry about being excommunicated because they gave a lot of money to help the church. But the pope didn't care how much money anyone gave to the church, if you made the pope mad, you were excommunicated. One pope even excommunicated a king! So throughot the Middle Ages, people were terrified of their religion, but they were also scared not to have a religion. So either way, the Middle Ages were not a fun time for the people who lived there.
