Answer:

In the Middle Ages, Christianity entirely dominated the lives of people in Europe from birth to death through the Roman Catholic Church, managing the laws and leading roles in government with the Pope, bishops and archbishops; great cathedrals and universities were built by them around that time, including major architectural advances such as Gothic Cathedrals decorated with religious sculptures, Catholic themes, stained glass windows and biblical paintings, driving basically all aspects of the human experience in society at the time.
