  3. Secular Leaders • Religious leaders were nobles. • Religious duties became secondary to feudal positions. • Church services were performed in Latin. • People had little knowledge of what was going on at church. • Sacraments: church rituals which people took part in.

  4. Secluded Leaders • Benedict founded a monastery and created rules for monks. • Rules included silence, prayer, manual work, meditation, they were not allowed to marry, and they were bound to monastic laws. • Nuns lived in convents and included “womanly” chores to their laws. • Provided services for the general welfare of people as well.

  5. Travelling Leaders • Friars were wandering preachers who lived simply and relied on the charity of others. • Francis of Assisi created ideology for friars.
