[Caps inserted to differentiate between the institution (C) and places of worship (c)] "The medieval Catholic Church was a mixed bag of corruption, persuasion, and fear-mongering. There are a number of scary historical facts about the Catholic Church, many involving the use of intimidation and coercion against the faithful in an effort to - oddly enough - keep them faithful. Plus, this was a time when [like the modern 3rd world] the majority of people were illiterate and highly superstitious, making it that much easier for the Church to manipulate the population and make them ever dependent upon the Church."
