Why did the Catholic Church introduce tropes?
to convey to the common people the mysterious ways in which fate worked
to teach morals by dramatizing the lives of saints and church leaders
to increase the common people's interest in and understanding of religious ideas
to popularize the classical language of Latin among the people
the abbots were responsible for saving the Word, Gutenberg the press, and Luther for having a PhD in book of Romans which non-allegorized justification
