Answer:

These two economy's were very similar yet different

Step-by-step explanation:

church: Most people - kings and commoners alike - belonged to the Roman Catholic faith. Not to believe was considered a certain sentence to Hell. Hell was considered to be a very real place. This gave the Church huge influence, and as bishops were key members of the feudal system, they held valuable land too.

Europe:Feudalism helped protect communities from the violence and warfare that broke out after the fall of Rome and the collapse of strong central government in Western Europe. Feudalism secured Western Europe's society and kept out powerful invaders. Feudalism helped restore trade. Lords repaired bridges and roads.
