How are the clergy represented in Chaucer's Prologue?

In Chaucer's time, the Catholic Church was very corrupt in that it had accumulated a great amount of wealth and power over the years and with those things comes corruption. Many people became clergy men and nuns, etc. in the hopes of becoming as powerful as the Pope and high people of the church were. Mostly because at that time, the Pope of the Catholic Church had as much (some would say even more) power than the Kings of Europe!

Chaucer used the Prologue of Canterbury Tales to take out his frustration from the people who became the clergy, but didn't have the heart to truly act as the clergy were called to be.
