Question

Compare the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire and medieval Europe.?

Answer 1

The things that these rises had it common is that they were both sucessful because it appealed the the general population when Jesus spreaded his word that praised the poor and downtrodden and many romans could relate to that and followed its ways and soon became very popular when the roman emperor Constantine accepted it. Same situation during the dark ages the people were poor and had very little and christs meassage appealed to them so they followed it also the pope gained control and many kings became catholic to please the pope also helping to spread it

Answer 2

In the early roman empire, most would have been persecuted for practicing christian beliefs. By act of the kings, they had thought no one to be higher then them, leading to the crucifixion of christ, the difference in medieval europe is that most kings based their beliefs on christ. Like Henry vii hey had founded the christian church of england, and Louis XIV of france had declared every morning for their to be a holy mass and a gospel of christ for the day. The difference were that rome was more liberal and ruled, while medieval europe was based on a strong foundation of christ and the ways of life were like determined by the bible
