Detailed explanation-1: -The movement helped both to militarize the medieval western Church and to sustain criticism of that militarization. It arguably helped solidify the pope’s control over the Church and made certain financial innovations central to Church operations. And it both reflected and influenced devotional trends.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cacciaguida said to Dante, “God knows all about the existence and the nonexistence of all contingent things. God knows the past, the present, and the present. But this does not take away from free will. God exists outside of space and time, and God sees the past, the present, and the future all at the same time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cacciaguida is the only ancestor of Dante he encounters (although Alighiero is mentioned as remaining in the first level of Purgatory), and the elder serves as a father figure to the poet, and a parallel to Virgil’s Aeneas meeting with his own father Anchises.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the heaven of Mars, Dante models his encounter with a blood relative, his great-great grandfather Cacciaguida, on both classical and biblical examples.
