Medievals review ch 12

As the popes' power grew, they established control of areas in central Italy that came to be known as

• nation-states.

• investitures.

• Papal States.

• monasteries.

Until the Investiture Controversy challenged the practice, people usually became Church officials by

• the appointment of the ruler of the country.

• a papal order.

• inheriting the office from their father.

• an election in which all the members of the community vote.

The Investiture Controversy was a power struggle between King Henry IV of Germany and

• Dominic de Guzm�n.

• Pope Gregory VII.

• Francis of Assisi.

• Pope Innocent III.

How does an interdict work?

• It forbids priests to administer religious rites to certain people.

• It bars people from entering their church.

• It refuses kings the right to appoint anyone to religious office.

• It bans infidels from Christian cities.

According to the compromise reached in the Concordat of Worms, a German bishop

• had to travel to the German city of Worms to receive his appointment.

• could be appointed by the king, but bishops from other kingdoms could not.

• could be nominated by the king, but the pope could refuse to appoint him.

• received symbols of his earthly office from the king and symbols of his spiritual office from the pope's representative.

What did the Cistercians do with the time they gained by shortening their religious services?

• They devoted several hours a day to begging for food.

• They crafted beautiful ornaments to decorate their churches.

• They prayed privately, performed manual labor, and reached out to people in the community.

• They trained to join the army and march off to battle.

Men who join a religious order are called monks and live in monasteries; women who join a religious order

• are also called monks and also live in monasteries.

• are called nuns and live in convents.

• are called abbesses and live in abbeys.

• must live at home, because there are no religious houses for women.

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux believed that a monk should be

• meek and mild.

• a 'soldier of Christ.'

• 'God's vicar on earth.'

• a good family man.

Many faithful Church followers felt that the harsh methods of the Inquisition were justified in order to save the souls of

• heretics.

• vassals.

• clerics.

• widows.

Ordinary people prayed to saints because

• they believed saints could intervene directly with God in their favor.

• they loved the pictures of saints they saw in their churches.

• they did not wish to approach God himself with their requests.

• the saints had once been regular people, just like them.
