In the early 700s, Byzantine iconoclasm became a major source of conflict between the Eastern and Western parts of the Church. Byzantine emperors forbade the creation and veneration of religious images, as violations of the Ten Commandments. Other major religions in the East such as Judaism and Islam had similar prohibitions. Pope Gregory III vehemently disagreed. A new Empress Irene siding with the pope, called for an Ecumenical Council. In 787, the fathers of the Second Council of Nicaea "warmly received the papal delegates and his message". At the conclusion, 300 bishops, who were led by the representatives of Pope Hadrian I "adopted the Pope's teaching", in favor of icons, the same concept that brought their political power.

Is it true that political and economic power shifted during the classical period from the middle class to the aristocracy and the church?

No. The increase in the power of the Church happened in the Roman Empire at a time when the economic and political power was mostly in the hands of the military. In the Middle Ages, the aristocracy gained military power, and the rise of the middle class only happened during the Middle Ages after that.

What struggles did the church face under the roman empire during the middle ages?

None, since the Roman Empire fell apart in about 400 AD and the Middle Ages started over 500 years later. The Church faced numerous problems during the fall of the Roman Empire, which eventually led to the Western Church (now the Roman Catholic Church) and the Eastern Church (now the Greek Orthodox Church) to split and excommunicate the other. During the Middle Ages, the Church became very influential with the royal and noble households and had practically untouchable political and economic power.

Why is feudalism called a politico-socio-economic system?

Feudalism pervaded all forms of life in the middle ages. There was a ruling class ( political/social) that controlled the economic system. The peasant and serf classes who did the labor for the ruling class were kept that way through taxes ( economic) and the inability to move out of that class to a upper class ( social/political/economic).
