Look at the  LIT CIRCLES WRITTEN RESPONSES page under the PAGES section of the blog. Your first written response is due this Friday.

Read the handout on the church I passed out in class today. Answer the following questions in at least 4-5 sentences:
1. The church encouraged people to practice “self-discipline, moderation and self-denial” (p29). What does this mean?
2. The church was afraid that “the human mind …could think away the supernatural” (p29). What is the “supernatural?” Why would the church fear this? What would happen to the church if people stopped believing in the supernatural?
3. The church became a major “social and cultural force in the early middle ages” (p29). What does this mean? Give an example which illustrates how the church was a major social and cultural force.
4. What are the “guranteed rights of the individual” (p30) and how did the church help this idea flourish?
