is this some Catholicism whitewashing? the church was party to exploitation of the peasants, fucking don’t aspire to be rich, they don’t get to heaven, but you peasants you will, trust me bro.
also they had time off because they needed to work on their own land so they don’t starve to death get a fucking grip.
Ensuring everyone remained within their classes. Restricting access to knowledge. Making themselves arbiters of corporeal life and the access to the afterlife.
And also - 150 day’s work would have been for their Lord/landowner/whatever. There would have been plenty of time needed to work for oneself caring for any food/work animals, planting and harvesting one’s own food, maintaining the land, preparing any foods or goods for sale or trade.
So sure…you maybe only owed ~150 days, but the work didn’t stop there.
