How Did The Poor Stayed Poor?

Описание: Everyone thinks feudalism just happened. Kings, castles, serfs, that's just how the Middle Ages worked, right? Wrong. Someone built that system. Someone maintained it. And someone made absolutely sure you believed God himself wanted it that way.
In this video we expose the real relationship between the Catholic Church and European feudalism, and why it lasted nearly 1000 years.
What we cover: Romans 13 and how one Bible verse was used to make rebellion a sin. The Great Chain of Being, the theological framework that made your poverty God's design. How the Church became the single largest landowner in medieval Europe owning up to one third of all land. The tithe, how peasants were taxed by both their lord AND the Church simultaneously. Excommunication as a political weapon used against kings and peasants alike. Why Islamic and Buddhist societies built fundamentally different relationships between religion and power. How the Black Death cracked the feudal system open. The Peasants Revolt of 1381 and what John Ball actually said. Martin Luther, the printing press and how the Reformation broke the monopoly forever.
This is not an attack on faith. This is a forensic examination of what happens when an institution gets to define God's will and also happens to own a third of a continent.
