Everyman can be seen as a literary piece that mainly serves the Catholic Church in the late Dark Ages. Discuss two scenes from the play that supports this claim.

Everyman is obviously written from the perspective of the Catholic Church prior to the Reformation, which began in 1517. The play stresses the importance of good deeds for salvation and calls upon Mary as a mediator, both tenets that Martin Luther and other Protestant reformers rejected. Two scenes that are particularly Catholic in teaching are the scenes with Confession and Five-Wits.
Good-Deeds, being temporarily incapacitated, refers Everyman to Knowledge, her sister. Knowledge informs Everyman that he must go to Confession for cleansing. Confession tells Everyman that he must suffer the pain of penance in order to receive forgiveness. The Catholic Church issued a ruling in the thirteenth century that required Catholics to go to confession with a priest at least once a year. Everyman serves the Catholic Church by directing audience members to their parish priest. Although Everyman's penance in the play is self-flagellation, the medieval Church offered penance options that were not physically painful, such as the purchase of indulgences. This became a lucrative source of funds for the Catholic Church.
The second scene that serves the Catholic Church is the scene in which Five-Wits directs Everyman to the priest to receive the sacrament and oil. He praises the priest, explains the seven sacraments the priest is authorized to perform, and states that the priest is able to turn the elements of Communion into God's blood and body. This is all Catholic doctrine that the reformers rejected. The play stresses the importance of the priest to attain forgiveness throughout life and especially in the final anointing, known as last rites. This teaching binds parishioners to their Catholic church by making it essential to eternal life.
As the play Everyman was performed in communities during the late Dark Ages, it reinforced Catholic teachings and served the Catholic Church by directing people to their priest for regular confession, sacraments, and last rites.
