Detailed explanation-1: -As a member of a Florentine political party known as the White Guelphs, Dante advocated the separation of church and state, which eventually led to his banishment from Florence in 1302.
Detailed explanation-2: -Summary and Analysis Canto VI. Dante awakens in the third circle of Hell, the circle of the Gluttons. A stinking slush falls from the sky and collects on the ground where naked shades howl and roll in the mire. Cerberus, the three-headed monster, stands over those sunk deep in the slush.

Detailed explanation-4: -Virgil explains to Dante that usury goes against God’s will because a usurer makes his money not from industry or skill (“art”)-as Genesis stipulates that human beings should-but rather from money itself (in the form of interest).
