In medieval Europe, the Roman Catholic Church was central to life, with many people becoming monks or nuns. Nobles and serfs supported the church financially, believing it would aid their spiritual journey. Despite dangers, pilgrimages were common, and the era is renowned for its grand cathedrals, which showcased architectural and artistic prowess. These cathedrals also served educational purposes, as most people were illiterate. The clergy, who could read and write, played a crucial role in copying books and founding universities. The church wielded significant political power, often surpassing that of feudal states.
