Detailed and developed

NOOOOO!!!!!The Condition of the Church (ca 1400–1517) Signs of Disorder Clerical immorality priests frequently violated their vows of celibacy. They were also accused of drunkenness, gambling, and other vices. Clerical ignorance many priests could barely read or write. They were less educated than most educated laity. Clerical absenteeism and pluralism especially in higher-level Church officials who were often absent from their sees. Many held more than one office at a time, and some had bought their offices. Many Italian officials in Rome held benefices in England, France, or Germany, drawing income from them, but doing little for their sees. Upper levels of the Church hierarchy were dominated by aristocrats who lived well.Signs of Vitality In Holland the Brethren of the Common Life lived simply, aided the poor, and taught in local schools. Church attendance and church donations remained high. Pope Julius II summoned an ecumenical council to discuss Church reform (1512–1517).
