Why did the church cause little change in methods of treating disease in 1500-1700?

n medieval England there were religious and supernatural explanations for the cause of illness. The Church was very powerful and controlled education throughout the period, which led to the continuity of ideas. The Church taught that God was responsible for illness and disease. The Church taught that God sent disease as a punishment for sin or to cleanse the soul. As a result of this, many people would also turn to the Church for treatments and preventions. Religious believers would attend church and pray, pay for a special mass to be said to remove their sin and also fast. Some believers would go on a pilgrimage and during the Black Death in 1348 flagellants across Europe would whip themselves to show God how sorry they were for their sin and to show that they did not need to be punished with the disease. These beliefs continued throughout the period c.1250–c.1500 because the Church remained in control of education and continued to teach these ideas. Due to the power that the Church held in society, there was no challenge of the religious explanations, treatments and preventions for disease and illness.
