WELL I WONNER WHAT IT'S LIIIIIKE TO BE A GOOD POSTER
How much power did the Catholic Church really wield prior to the Reformation? Do you think the extent of its influence in this period is sometimes exaggerated? Why would kings and other regional leaders would cede any power, authority or land to Church when it (so far as I'm aware) had no real army to challenge them?
