How did religion influence the Magna Carta?
The religion influnced them by making them think the HAD TO have the Catholic churchs so they didnt go to hell. King John was excommunicated till 1209 so he wouldnt be able to go until a pope took the excommunicytion off of him this should help too: Religion, and the fear of Hell, were very important to the people including the barons. The Catholic Church taught the people that they could only get to Heaven if the Catholic Church believed that they were good enough to got there. How could they show their goodness and love of God if the churches were shut ? Even worse for John was the fact that the pope excommunicated him in 1209. This meant that John could never get to Heaven until the pope withdrew the excommunication. Faced with this, John climbed down and accepted the power of the Catholic Church giving them many privileges in 1214.
