Most Churches were Roman Catholic. People gave 1/10 of their money, goods, or crops to the church. People followed the rules of the church so that when they died they could have a better life in Heaven.
The Priest was the head of the church. He was given land from the manor. He used the land as farm land and serfs farmed it for him. He was paid to perform weddings, baptisms and burials. People believed that they could speak to god through the Priest.
Monks and Nuns were taught how to read and write. They cared for the sick, provided shelter for travellers, and farmed their land. Not everyone could read and write so they were important because they wrote down events. They taught children from rich families how to read and write.
