how far does the catholic church influence events and people in the novel beka lamb
No.
give sh*t to people!!
The Christian Church was probably the most important influence on the minds of medieval European people.
Who were the church rulers and what influence did they have on the society?
The church still holds power over people today due to its historical influence, community support, moral authority, and spiritual significance in many individuals' lives. Many people find comfort, guidance, and a sense of belonging in their religious beliefs, giving the church continued influence.
It reduced the influence. Because people lost faith in god and religion. Due to death rate.
The Catholic church helped influence Spanish colonization of the Philippines by building schools and mission hospitals. They were therefore able to reach to as many people as possible.
The greatest influence on the organization doctrine and liturgy of the Russian Orthodox Church was the sobornost. The sobornost is a concept that encourages the cooperation between people and discourages individualism.
APEX: The Islamic Empire directly governed the people it controlled, but the Roman Catholic Church relied only on its influence with rulers.
According to Enlightenment ideas people should act according to Reason and not hold convictions just because someone else (such as the Church) told them what to think. So Church influence certainly diminished among Enlightenment thinkers. But this was only a thin upper crust of people among the masses of people that held the Catholic faith. Among those masses Church influence remained almost undiminished and only in the 1960's and later, Catholics really started to follow their own judgement in moral and religious questions instead of the judgements and teachings of the Church.
The early chuch leaders had at times more influence than the king. Through ignorance of the general public, the church was able to manipulate the common man into believing that the church had power over their souls. This being the case if the church said "Jump" the people did so for fear of disobedience to church leaders, and their being assigned to hell for their disobedience. Respectfully
