Some find Boccaccio’s Decameron offensive and irreverent towards the representatives of the Catholic Church.  Others feel that exposing the corruption of the Catholic Church was indeed necessary and healthy for the future of the Christian world.   Analyzing two tales of your choice explain how, in your opinion, exposing corruption, through narrative, is beneficial for society.  Make sure to discuss and to include specific examples.
