Ftsmc500 post for 11/01/10 class

In class today we discussed several topics in regard to the Catholic Church including Benedictine rule, Gregory the Great, Charlemagne, how the rich bought and sold churches and appointed their own bishops thus resulting in corruption amongst leadership. We also learned about the crusades, Dominicans, St. Francis, Tomas Aquinas, Jesuits and their missions and the Council of Trent.
