answer like a 14 year old would

1 answer

Sure! Here’s how a 14-year-old might respond to those questions:

  1. Determining Effects: Two effects of the spread of Christianity in Ireland were that it helped unify the different tribes and clans under one religion, making it easier for people to work together. It also led to the establishment of monasteries, which became centers of learning and culture.

  2. Identifying: Some contributions made by Catholic monks and nuns in Europe during the Middle Ages included:

    • Preserving knowledge: They copied and saved ancient texts, which helped keep important information and literature alive.
    • Teaching: Monks and nuns educated people, especially in reading, writing, and religious studies.
    • Helped the poor: They provided care for the needy and sick, serving the community in many ways.

  3. Explaining: A pope could make kings obey his orders by using threats like excommunication, which meant kicking someone out of the Church and saying they were going to hell. That was a big deal back then and could really scare kings into following the pope’s wishes.

  4. Describing: The conflict that erupted between the Holy Roman Emperor and the leaders of the Catholic Church was mainly over who had more power to appoint bishops and influence church matters. The emperor wanted to control the church appointments, but the pope wanted to keep that power for the Church, leading to a lot of arguments and issues between them.
