Though the Crusades did influence a lot of people to become more educated, take up crafts from the exposure of the other empires they had to cross to get to Jerusalem.

Q

A

The Great Schism was an embarrassing event that the RCC experienced. When Pope Boniface unexpectedly died, they scrambled to elect a new pope which was Pope Urban the VI. Pope Urban the VI wasn’t the best guy or a good Pope. So the council of cardinals decided to elect a 2nd pope, Pope Clement the VII. However, they both became antipopes so the council of cardinals elected a 3rd pope, Pope John XXIII. But Pope john also became an antipope. The council decided to make all three popes step down. The final pope the was elected was Pope Benedict. After this event people started losing faith in the Popes. This lead to people looking into other religions.
