"Cleric, Knight, and Peasant representing the three classes", from Li Livres dou Santé
The tripartite social order of the Middle Ages: the ōrātōrēs (those who pray – clerics), bellātōrēs (those who fight – knights, that is, the nobility), and labōrātōrēs (those who work – peasants and members of the lower middle class).

This is interesting news: 75-85% of clergy, whether Catholic or Protestant, answer on a survey that their lives as clergy are "close to my ideal". This number gets larger as the respondent gets older, works more hours, and had a bigger congregation.

How did cardinal Wolsey manage to go from being a religious figure to basically our life’s version of asoiaf ‘hand’? Was cardinals the second authority after the king because cardinal richelieu acted like this in france in the next century?
It's not that they were the second authority per se, but since the clergy were the most educated people in medieval society, it was quite common for them to end up in major government posts - especially if it involved specialized skills like knowledge of canon law.
So for example, if you go down the list of Lord Chancellors of England in the Middle Ages, they're almost all archbishops, bishops, deans, deacons, archdeacons, abbots, etc.. It's not until the 13th century that we start seeing barons or judges or justices or lawyers on the list, and even then they are very much in the minority.

It wasn't that he'd lacked faith. But faith wasn't enough. He'd wanted knowledge. [...]
He'd found knowledge, and knowledge hadn't helped.

My little head canon for Terzo's Resurrection AU is that because he bleeds gold ichor from his gold gilded throat scar when experiencing negative emotions, people in the ministry start calling him the "Clergy's Treasure." Some mean it with reverence, as it’s a gift from the dark lord. 
The Clergy, though, it’s their way of reminding Terzo that he is just a trophy for them now. He has no power, no influence. He’s no longer papa, but a trophy brought back from Copia’s victory.
