> > hello. I am doing an essay on this exact topic, and i was wondering if you had any info for me. It would be very helpful. thank you very much. > > I'm currently studying the effects of the bubonic plague upon the Catholic church in England. Since clerics were hit especially hard by the plague, the church lost much of it's strength. Of special interest to me, is the related increase of the occult during this time, and the connection between this phenomenon, and the decline of the church. Please post any reposes, or bibliographic sources that would help me in my studies. Thank you!
