The simple acts of indulgences and gluttonies were considered as unrighteous and wrongful during the Medieval Period. Ranging from expensive spices, juicy meats, jewelry, bible of gold, the pressures brought by the listed items could be a great impediment of the path to heaven. The ones with high dignity and supreme conscience would live beyond the society. They would isolate themselves from the sinful and lustful pressures. Everyone respected the recluses, because they were not lured by the temptations of the devil.

In my opinion, I believed the churches were over exaggerating the matters at hand. The luxury simply represented a person’s social rank and authority. The clergyman and the churches were all decorated with precious stones, so their judgments and condemnations were acts of hypocrisy. It was people’s freedom to decide what kind of life they wanted to live, if they are wealthy enough.
