    Accommodation of Romanesque Church Architecture to the Pilgrim

    Prior to the eleventh century the only people who made pilgrimages were remorseful Christians who had to atone for their sins. Because of this, there was no need for huge churches because they didn 't need to accommodate mass numbers of people. However, the eleventh century brought an established need for any devoted Christian to make a pilgrimage. (Adams, 379) Romanesque church architecture flourished at approximately the same time as the eruption of these pilgrimages. Due to this, the Romanesque architects had to construct churches big enough for the abundance of pilgrims. (Adams, 382) These churches also had to accommodate the community of monks, whose numbers were probably still on the increase, to assemble for the divine office seven times per day. (Bultez, D.)…

    Francis Of Assisi Chapter Summary

    In his book, Francis of Assisi, William R. Cook seeks to provide a better understanding of St. Francis of Assisi as an individual rather than in conjunction with the order he founded. Cook divides the book into six sections, each section concentrating on an important aspect or experience in Francis= life and spirituality. The six sections focus on his conversion; his relationship to the created world; the creation of the Christmas crib at Greccio; the role of learning; the relationship between the active and contemplative life; and his stigmatization at LaVerna in 1224.(pg. 18) In order to provide a general understanding I believe that these six sections can be narrowed down into three major themes that Cook sets forth; full surrender to God, a balance between world and self through an understanding of God=s will, and the importance of experiencing scripture over studying it. To support these themes Cook utilizes a number of reliable resources, both written and visual.…

    How Did Christianity Build The Roman Empire

    In 312 AD, before Constantine’s army marched against Maxentius whose army was much larger than his, Constantine had a vision. It is said Constantine saw a cross in the sky with the message “you will conquer”. He later had a dream that he should put the letters XP on the soldier's shields and so he did; he won the battle against Maxentius outside Rome. Believing that he only won this battle with the help of Christ, he met with an Emperor in Milan and wrote up the edict of Milan. This made Christianity legal and allowed for Christians to worship…

    Gregory VII: Dictatus Papae 1090

    The primary source “Gregory VII: Dictatus Papae 1090” is a list of principals which was included to the Pope’s register in the year 1075. The origin of the Dictatus Papae is highly debatable since it is unknown; some believe it was written by Gregory VII himself, while others believed it had a completely different origin. The meaning of “dictatus” is principles that should be obeyed. So I find the naming of the Dictatus Papae very appropriate since it is exactly that, a list of principles for the Pope. This documentation of rules shows how much power the pope had in the 11th century in Europe, that it had to be regulated.…

    Should Euthanasia or Assisted Suicide Be Legalized in Canada?

    Should Euthanasia or Assisted Suicide Be Legalized in Canada?

    Euthanasia, formally known as mercy killing, is the act of intentionally causing the painless death of a sick person, rather than allowing that person to die naturally. In terms of a physician's actions, it can be passive in that a physician plays no direct role in the death of the person or it can be active in that the physician does something directly to cause the death (Yount, 2002). Euthanasia may also be formed into three types of act, which are voluntary, involuntary, and nonvoluntary. Voluntary involves killing the patient at his or her request. Involuntary occurs when the patient does not give consent, or refuses. Nonvoluntary is where the patient is not able to make the decision about their medical treatment so it is up to a third party to make the decision for them (Yount, 2002). Legalizing euthanasia would cause many complications because we are dealing with a very controversial issue that brings into focus some extremely powerful, conflicting, and competing values. Under the Canadian Criminal Code, active voluntary euthanasia is illegal and individuals can be convicted for 14 years for murder (Ogden & Young, 2000). Passive euthanasia has been legal because the courts have recognized the right of a patient to refuse and to terminate unwanted medical treatments. The question that remains today is whether legalizing active euthanasia in Canada could either benefit or harm not only the individuals involved, but also society as a whole.…

    The Medieval Church

    The Medieval Church played a far greater role in Medieval England than the Church does today. In Medieval England, the Church dominated everybody's life. All Medieval people - be they village peasants or towns people - believed that God, Heaven and Hell all existed. From the very earliest of ages, the people were taught that the only way they could get to Heaven was if the Roman Catholic Church let them. Everybody would have been terrified of Hell and the people would have been told of the sheer horrors awaiting for them in Hell in the weekly services they attended.…

    Members of the Orthodox Church, marriage are a very solemn occasion. They take is to be a sacrament between two members of Christ’s bond (the church). The service is full of symbolism to show that it is Christ himself who unites the couple. The vows or promises are made and rings are exchanged but also, during the ceremony, the priest “crowns” the couple with wreaths, this is to show that the couples have now become a king and queen of their own kingdom…
