|
| The
Medieval Church, which had its
beginnings |
|||||||||
| during the reign
of Constantine, still exists |
|||||||||
| with only minor
changes in the Roman |
|||||||||
| Catholic Church.
It was during this period that |
|||||||||
| the church was
wedded to the state and |
|||||||||
| became institutionalized
with a paid |
|||||||||
| priesthood,
possession of wealth and |
|||||||||
| property, and the
development of established |
|||||||||
| creeds and
ritualized forms of worship. |
