Correct answer:
The Church taught that people should not spend their time pursuing wealth, but should focus on faith.
Explanation: The Church supported the perpetuation of the feudal system by instilling the belief that it was God's ordained social order. It taught that the peasants should accept their place in society and focus on their spiritual salvation rather than seeking material wealth or social mobility. This reinforced the hierarchical structure of the feudal system, with the Church acting as a powerful authority that helped maintain the social order.
