The Church: The Guardian of Culture in the Middle Ages

In the Middle Ages it is characterized by a strictly hierarchical society, proved by the fact that every level of society, like trees branches, is determined and important in advance. Nobility and clergy are at the top of the social class, but Jews and people pursuing disgraceful profession are called outsiders. The church functions as a guardian of culture, especially at monasteries and monasteries. They usually hold ancient scholarships through mediation of Muslim scientists.

The medieval began after the collapse of the Roman Empire. It can be defined as the era of minimal cultural, scientific achievement, suffering, feudalism and power. Labels that best represent medieval Europe from the 500's to the 1400's are the dark ages, feudal age and faith era. As the invasion caused years of suffering, the Middle Ages should be marked as a dark era. Invaders from the North usually enter the town and waste everything. These intrusions make people live in fear at a safer place. In document 1, "They laid down the towns and villages and wasted the fields ... not more trade, there is only constant fear ... people are lost in deep forests and places where hands are hard to reach" "In addition to the invasion of people's homes, many people were killed and their belongings, even their loving houses, were taken away."

Unlike the dark Middle Ages, the development of a new European culture was seen in the medieval world, although there was a difference in politics, it itself was regarded as a "Christian world". Abbey orders are no longer guardians of endangered knowledge, but they are still major places for intellectual activity throughout the Middle Ages. This era witnessed the understanding of Christian life and the growth of music, art, poetry, literature, philosophy, cosmic expression in theology and science.
