Ep 185 - Day in the Life of the Clergy
🕑 Added 2024-09-20 12:00:11 +0000 UTCpatrons, here is your ad-free version of this week's regular episode. we answer questions from Professor Science and Quixotic in this one.
so far in our Day in the Life series, we've covered peasant farmers, knights, merchants, and royalty, which means that the only major group in Medieval Europe we've yet to cover is the clergy. but the clergy wasn't just stuffy archbishops in their giant cathedrals, the humble parish priest provided spiritual comfort as well as social services and material aid to his parishioners while the monks and nuns of the holy orders were working away in their abbeys and convents. this episode, we take a look at three separate levels of the clergy to get a flavor for what their daily lives were like: the parish priest, the archbishop, and the monk/nun. check it out!

I wonder how high you could rise on piety and ability in the clergy?

At my dad's catholic church they have 8am mass on Sunday which is like a short mass for people who don't want to spend their whole Sunday morning at mass
