2. Use the writing frame below to help write up one reason why Geoffrey criticised the Catholic Church.

One reason Geoffrey criticised the Catholic Church was that the priest was not following the rules, for example, he had wild relationships with women

This caused Geoffrey to criticise the Church because the priest was not being a good role model to people trying to be forgiven for their sins.
