HW#4
1. The Canon Law, was basically the laws of the Church. In matters such as marriage and religious practices. It was also a system to guide people's conduct.
2. If people did not obey the Canon Law, they would face excommunication and interdict. Excommunication is banishment from the Church. If an excommunicated king continued to disobey the pope then the pope would use the interdict. The interdict did not allow many sacraments and religious services to be performed in the king's lands, so Christians believed that without the sacraments they would be doomed to an eternal life in hell.
