I think
Chaucer had multiple purposes in writing the Canterbury Tales, some of
which we will never know!  He clearly was disenchanted with the Catholic church and uses a lot

church was through satire, which involves poking fun at serious subjects.  Chaucer is no
exception.  I do not believe that he had very specific purposes but that he wanted to merely
bring attention to some of the inadequacies and wrongs in the church.
