Week 11

I font Petrach’s letter very interesting and I must admit that I kind of agree with him. I thought when people became members of the church they gave up all of the pleasures in life so they could focus their life entirely on god or something like that. Although I’m not sure what the “worthless parchments” were, were they money or something?

I also found the point Knox made about the misconception people usually have about the average age at death during the time very interesting. I’ve never heard that before and never really thought about it. I just took it on everyone else’s word that everyone died around the age 35 and that was that, but now that I think about it, it makes very little sense.
