Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals express many different and opposite ways of religious theology. The Romanesque time was an era or protection and judgment, but the Gothic era was full of light and happiness. The different times led to different ways of living and theology; thus the two different eras has different architecture to base how the time was to their buildings. 

The Romanesque time was a time filled with invaders trying to attack land and take over the Roman Empire. This period began in the 9^th century and ended in the 11^th century. The churches and cathedrals at this time had many small windows so invaders couldn’t break in and the church and everyone in it was more safe.  The churches at this time were considered to be more of a protection area rather than a place of worship because of that stage in time.  The Romanesque architecture also included many buildings with arched curves in them, also to protect from invaders.  This time in the Roman Empire was a time of fear and protection, rather than the light from the Gothic times.

The Gothic times in the Roman Empire began in the 12^th century and ended in the 14^th century. The architecture was much different in these times that the Romanesque era. The cathedrals had huge windows filled with stain glass. This time was a time of light and stability. Since there were much less invaders, the architects were able to make windows and churches larger and brighter with stain glassed windows. This time in the Empire was full of happiness and faith because invaders were gone, and they could live happily and be more religious.
