Sins and Penance:
penitential Thanks to the many we have left we can come quite easily to the world of sin in the High Middle Media. These documents are the penance for each sin, and can say that most of them are fasting on bread and water or dry the corresponding annealing penance.
If someone is unwilling or unable to perform the fast change is possible by paying a certain amount of money per year. Once again, the poor must suffer the consequences of sin in their own meat while the rich can buy their salvation. Perhaps that is why the council of Paris condemned the penitential in 829, ordering them to be burned. Despite the ban, the priests continued to maintain among his books a penitential.
According to them, regarded Christianity as the largest three sins: fornication, including all types of sexual acts but with emphasis on bestiality, sodomy, oral sex, masturbation, change in posture when doing the act sex, incest and female homosexuality, "the violence and perjury. However, it is also true that these three crimes are the most committed as reference texts. The financial penalties imposed by social penitential make no distinction, except in the case of priests or laity. The priests and monks should be absolutely pristine and clean. The murder could be punished by three to five years of fasting, whether the violence was committed by a layman. A priest, fasting amounted to twelve years.

To facilitate this review, were developed penance (confession manuals) describing the possible sins and their appropriate penance. These often consisted of fast a certain number of days each week, on bread and water. Although, ultimately, these impositions were applied throughout the Christian world, were especially significant for the Irish Christianity.
