Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book's central tenet is that the wealth accrued by the clergy during medieval times was not only justified but indispensable for the survival of European society in that era. The author supports this assertion by demonstrating how the Church, thanks to its concentrated wealth, played a vital role in preserving knowledge, providing education and healthcare, promoting the arts, and mediating conflicts. The analysis extends to examining how the Church's economic power contributed to the development of towns, the rise of universities, and the emergence of representative government. By viewing the accumulation of ecclesiastical wealth not as a sign of greed but as a necessary adaptation to the tumultuous social and political landscape of the time, this book challenges prevalent misconceptions and sheds new light on the Church's historical significance.
