    Turkey is up there in the fucked upparts of the world to be honest, not sure about stability, even less sure about futire of NATO, long-standing territorial and cultural clashes with like every neighbour except those that are on the other side of the sea?

    Anyway what kind of use is allowed? Is this agricultural only or you can do whatever? How large is it? Do you have water, electricity connection?

    They literally just laid there half a year, doing nothing. /s

    Also they needed to pay rent, taxes, tithe, weren’t able to freely move or change profession, and were just step above slaves. Truly a life of leisure.

    From late antiquity to high middle ages popes were chosen by the closest ruler more often then not. Them crowning emperors weren’t a sign of authority but subservience, lol. When popes chose to oppose secular rulers, they either changed their minds or there were new pope.

    Agreed on most of the points. True, church provided some legitimacy not all of it and not even majority, secular rulers had a lot of power over local clergy due to many factors and by the 10th century rulers tried to usurp church completely (e.g. emperor named new pope after old one dies). Bishops literally sworn fealty to HR emperor, and in some places monarch chose or at least had ability to choose who will become abbot or bishop or whatever.

    Are you unable to accept being wrong?

    This is exactly how it is and was used when talking about middle ages. There were secular and religious power, secular and religious courts, and in religious courts church only held authority in spiritual and religous matters. Exceptions to these rules are prince-bishops in HRE and other such examples (papal states) where bishops or pope were civil rulers of secular prinicpalities/states.

    It is obvious that right now absolute majority lives better then ever before.

    Yet there is a belief among people that everything was green and natural, and sweet before evil industrialization that stole our souls. Pure propaganda from rich assholes that salivate at the thoughts of neo-feudal system.

    Secular means that the state is neutral to the church

    It does not. dictionary, and yes Henry VIII is a great example of what I’m talking about, when he didn’t get what he wanted he just changed the rules. Also he doesn’t belong to middle ages in any way or form, lol.

    R-r-right, and monarchs were part of the clergy or head of church (except eastern roman empire ofc)?

    Also why would church need to play by laws set up by local authorities if they were all under the rule of the church?
