Best Answer

The church was changed drastically as many people began to lose faith the main reason was that the plague was supposedly sent by God ( it wasn't)and people began to question the religion. Also people thought that non-sinners would not be affected and outrage broke out as people realized that more than half of the monks, bishops and so on died as they lived , and slept, so close together. But also the church became even more rich as believers brought potions that were supposed to cure this horrible disease.

Catholic AnswerThis is a complex, and very interesting question. For a fuller discussion, I would suggest that you get Diane Moczar's book, Ten Dates Every Catholic Should Know and read the chapters on 1000 A.D. Gateway to the Church's Most Glorious Age, and 1517 AD: The Protestant Catastrophe. A "coldness" crept into Christianity by the end of the 12th century, and "terrible chastisements in the form of war, famine, pestilence, and above all, intractable heresy" descended on the Church in the 14th through the 16th centuries.

The Black Death killed millions. It affected the Catholic Church because good priests that tried to help the dying, caught the disease themselves and died. Sometimes people not qualified to be priests, were made priests anyway because of the lack of qualified candidates. People began to question the priesthood. Foreigners, especially Jewish ones were considered to be a cause of the plague. Many Jewish communities were wiped out.
