The theme of this reading is about what the Pope says to his people about the way things are with all the people. This was important for the Pope to be able to write and talk to the people. This lets the people know that the Pope is not high up to talk to the common people. It also helps the common people to know what the Pope is talking about.
"When Pope Urban had said these and very many similar things in his urbane discourse, he so influenced to one purpose the desires of all who were present, that they cried out, "It is the will of God! It is the will of God!" This stood out to me for two reasons, first was because it talks about things that the Pope had said and how the people responded to what the Pope had said. The second reason this stood out to me is what the people said in response to the Pope, "It is the will of God!" it is kind of weird how of all things that is what they said.
This reading got me to think about religion, mine and the religions of the time. The religion of the time was so much more structured than the religion of the time being. I wish that religion now a days was like it was back then. The structured gave the people a balance in their life and balance is something that I would find helpful in the world today. Religion is something that the world could use to help keep more peace in the world.
This relates to the reading in how religion was what controlled the time period and what the people did. Religion was not something to be taken lightly. The Pope was the high of the high and people were to look up to him. He was who people did look too in times of need and the fact that the Pope wrote to his people did the Pope a lot of good he was there for them to look up to.
