The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of secular and regular clergy in the medieval church.
Secular clergy like bishops, archbishops, and parish priests had large roles in both the church and society, sometimes wielding as much power as kings. They were responsible for spreading religion and helping people.
Regular clergy like monks and nuns lived only to serve their religion through prayer and worship. Abbots and abbesses led monasteries and oversaw monks and nuns.
While both were part of the Christian church hierarchy under the Pope, secular clergy engaged more directly in society, whereas regular clergy focused solely on religious observance.

6. HOW DOES THE POPE MAINTAIN POWER OVER
THE LANDS?
The pope is first elected or chosen to rule over the Vatican back in Italy. He
has mostly the same jobs as the king but more religiously but still the
king and the pope rule at the same time in an empire and sharing the
power. The pope first assigns bishops and archbishops for more help
just like the lord and his vassal in order to help organize throughout the
empire. Then in order to keep people praying and helping Christianity
grow he builds many church and big and small areas or also cities and
then appoints priests for each church built. Then for holy people of the
church also known as the monks and nuns or for whoever wants to
become one he build monasteries and then assign abbots and
abbesses to rule over them. Popes also can establish an army in order
to protect their lands and to keep is ruling in shape and to help his
empire. That’s how the pope rules over his empire.
