What impact did the adversities of the 14th century have on the Catholic Church?
The period of European history during which is considered as the Middle Ages, Europe faced a series of famines and plagues including the Great Famine from 1315 to 1317 and the Black Death. The population of Europe got reduced to a significant degree because of these natural disasters. During this period religious unity was jolted by the differences between Western and Eastern Church. The European political powers also faced a decline and they had to face social unrest, serfs’ uprising, the Peasants’ Revolt, the Jacquerie, and along with all these issues, European powers also suffered the Hundred Years’ War between England and France. During this period the Western Schism decreased the influence of the Catholic Church and it further aggravated the situations.
