But whoever sacrifices a bull is like one who kills a person, and whoever offers a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever makes a grain offering is like one who presents pig’s blood, and whoever burns memorial incense is like one who worships an idol. They have chosen their own ways, and they delight in their abominations; so I also will choose harsh treatment for them and will bring on them what they dread. For when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, no one listened. They did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me.” (Isaiah 66: 2b-4)

I grew up in a semi devout Irish Catholic family in a predominantly Irish and Italian neighborhood . My grandma on my moms side I was extremely close with and she went to church almost every day. They helped her find a new apartment near the church that was a million times better in neighborhood (she was taking a 45 min ride on public transport to get to church every day) , a fraction of the cost (it was specifically for older people on fixed incomes), and in center city (she never got a license in her life). Her best friend was a nun, SisterAgnes. Going to Catholic school growing up it was so cool at the time (like 10) to see this nun who cursed, was funny, and not held above but rather just a hilarious friend of my grandma. On the other hand, at my grade school (Pre K to 8th) there was a priest in charge, Monsignor Heron. He was a very aloof person and not friendly in the slightest. He had a Benz and a BMW. When being ordained a nun must give up any and all money, properly, etc “vow of poverty “, priests do not. Turns out when I was like 12 he passed away from cancer. They held an emergency meeting in the church a few weeks later and asked every parishioner to come. Turned out (surprise!😏) the Monsignor used the church and school money as his own and bought numerous luxury vehicles, luxury beachfront condo in Hawaii, condo in Vail for skiing, and it goes on. The meeting wasn’t to apologize. The meeting was basically a “we may have to close the school and who knows what will happen to the children...” type guilt trip and wanted everyone to pay back to cover all of his debts while continuing to pay the mandatory amount to send kids to school .

Not that the average joe wasn't entirely free from the church's power but he was much less watched and observed by it and much more free to be skeptical of the church's claimed authority over the hereafter.

It was not used to scare people at all, cause people during the middle ages already knew about the punishments of hell and purgatory. The poem is rated as a masterpiece not just by Italians, but by all the critics around Europe and other countries. Also Dante never wrote about The mouth of hell, that's in your fantasies.
