Which is not an example of something the church used to influence medieval society? - The Eddas - the sacraments - canon law - the threat of excommunication

The Eddas are a collection of old norse poetry. That is something the church would not have used to influence medieval society.

Option: The Eddas

Explanation:

During the Medieval period, the Roman Catholic Church position in Medieval society was necessary. Church dominate society and people as they made rules and regulations. People during the Medieval period did not go against their Church as they look for salvation from their sins and sufferings. The sacraments along with the canon law and the ex-communication were part of the Church. The Eddas is a collective literary work of the Medieval Icelandic during the 13th century. Therefore it does not have any connection with the Church because Jesus was not even born yet.
