How a person behaved on earth would determine if they were to be sent to heaven, hell, or purgatory. The Catholic Church was a “major source of moral and spiritual instruction in medieval Christendom,” but was also the source of the “artistic productivity” during this time as well (148). This caused a revival of more than one thousand monasteries and abbey churches. These monastic churches attracted many Christian pilgrims which eventually resulted in the Pilgrimage Church.

The literature of this time was composed of religious writing, it is a complex and rich field of study. The Medieval society talks about the dark ages of the western culture and civilization. The church was a powerful institution, so most of the literary texts that could survived had to appeal to the teaching of the church, otherwise the writings might be condemned.
