which of the following describes how the roman catholic church stabilized Europe following the fall of the roman empire?

Question

A. It convinced many European kingdoms to participate in the Crusades.

B. It raised a massive army to prevent European rebellions.

C. It eliminated the influence of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

D. It negotiated a peace between European Christians and Muslims.

Answer 1

Of these choices, I would say "A. It convinced many European kingdoms to participate in the Crusades" would be the best answer to your question, even though the Crusades didn't begin in earnest until about five centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire, so because of that long time it might seem strange to say this "stabilized" Europe, i.e., normally something in need of "stabilization" needs it right away. Europe did go through what's often termed the "Dark Ages" following the fall of Rome, but even then there really wasn't that much political nor social "instability" on the continent.
