Greed And Corruption Of The Catholic Church In The Middle Ages

During the middle ages, the Catholic Church began to become more involved in government. They began to take part in organizing government action in the Crusades ( a medieval military expedition) trying to enforce church peace. However, as the power of the Church grew, so did greed and corruption. Bishops were accepted in court and generally lived with the same luxuries as the nobles (high class people) in the Middle Ages. They wore the best clothes. They wore hats called miters, miters were tall hats that looks like a pointed arch. Bishops wore grand religious garments that often were jeweled.
