THE BIG QUESTION
I think that the Modern Age is divided in privileged states ( clergy, nobles) and the non-privileged state (burgeosie, craftsmen and peasant). The privileged state pay the religious buildings and the civil buildings, also the non-priveleged state pay the buildings, with the taxes they give to the nobles and the clergy.

I think that the persons that pay the buildings want to show other person how much money and power had. Also many important buildings are houses or church where the important people live. Like Lujanes house and Tower, Cisneros houses.

I think that the religion in the socity is very important because its controlled all. From the live of the nobles and the peasants that work in their lands. Most of the lands of the peasants are of the clergy so thet became more powerful. Also many people go to the churchs to pray Gods so they are now by the population and become more recognized.

I think that social medieval religion its not private and personal, becasuse its controlled all the population.
