Abbey
The abbot is father to the community, spiritually speaking.The relationship between the Catholic Church and the Christian kingdoms started strong, as Pope Boniface ratified Pepin the Young as king of the Franks after Pepin deposed the final Merovingian ruler. In return, Pepin vowed to protect the Church, a notion that his son Charlemagne took a step further. He chose not only to defend the faith, but propagate it as far as he could. Charlemagne was a great reformer, and changed the structure of the Frankish Church so it was more important to the daily lives of the people and a force for good amongst local communities. During the Carolingian era, the amount of churches and cathedrals in Frankish Europe doubled, and Charlemagne's ecclesiastical reforms saw them transform from simply places of worship into educational hubs and centres for healing. The steps taken by Charlemagne through his reign - demanding education for all men alike, and bolstering the authority of the Church's leaders, helped to create the modern blueprint for the Church - as a binding agent that unifies communities.
