The Canterbury Tales

7 "It is no wonder that Chaucer retracts the Tales at the end of the work. They are quite simply blasphemous." Can we read the Tales as a religious work?

They are only blasphemous because he criticizes the Catholic church at the time for its corruption. I don't think it can be categorised as a religious work because it isn't like the Bible that espouses the virtue of Christianity.
