Explain how the church both nearly destroyed drama and also helped revived drama.?
PLEASE help

answer:

As the Roman Empire was Christianized, church officials, opposed the theater. The church opposed drama because of drama’s association with pagan gods and because immoral drama did not uphold the Empire’s new Christian values. The church nearly wiped out the art form of the theater.

Some forms of dramatic ceremonies and rituals helped keep the tradition barely alive, and wandering entertainers no doubt helped preserve the tradition of acting. From the ninth century rituals of the Christian church grew mystery plays, miracle plays, and morality plays. Mystery plays depicted Biblical events; they were important ways of familiarizing the illiterate peasantry with Bible stories. Miracle plays depicted the lives of saints and also played an important role for the church. Morality plays were pure fiction and advocated, as their name suggests, morality and proper behavior.
