The medieval church provide a lot of help services during the middle ages.
For example, monasteries and convents provided places where people could seek refuge. If a woman was abused by her husband, she could get a place to live where she was safe, be she serf or queen.
The Church had its own court system in many countries, which were often a good deal more lenient than the secular courts. In England, a person could qualify for transfer to ecclesiastical court if he or she could read a certain psalm, which proved literacy, and one result was that criminals taught other criminals how to read that one psalm. In Spain, people could qualify for ecclesiastical court if they were heretics, so some people confessed to get the more lenient treatment. This was true even during the Spanish Inquisition, providing the person repented.
Churches and monasteries ran schools.
Monasteries ran hospitals.
Monastic groups ran inns to give shelter to pilgrims and other travelers. Other monastic groups protected people on the roads.
The Church provided families with upward mobility. If a family member went into the Church, it meant that others in the family could benefit in a number of practical ways.
The Church provided many people with a better living than they otherwise would have had.
The Church provided spiritual guidance, and there were other benefits.
Nuns made it more hygienic and provided constant nursing and meals.

Yes, the Church helped initiate progress in science in general, by issuing the Condemnations of 1210 to 1277.
Though they sound like they might have been oppressive, the Condemnations of 1210 to 1277 actually freed scientists from a dogma that effectively prevented real research. This dogma did not originate from the Church, but from educators who taught that the pinnacle of understanding was Aristotle, and any deviation from his teaching was unacceptable - if you wanted to find out how many teeth a horse had, you looked for an answer in Aristotle's writings, rather than in a horses mouth.
The Church responded to the dogma of the University professors by condemning it as heresy. While it was still considered acceptable to teach Aristotle in most universities, it was not acceptable to teach that Aristotle was infallible. It became permissible to find information empirically, and if you wanted to know how many teeth a horse had, you could get the information from the horse's mouth.

The church was very important in medieval life. It provided people with moral guidance and help in surviving difficult situations.
The only one I can think of is that they gave people help by caring for the people who were sick.... so... please can anyone tell me anymore reasons??? If you could, I would REALLY appreciate it :)

Well the church was it's own "person" back then. They were able to choose high ranked officials and the King had to often agree with them. The church was a big thing in medieval times. They would help the king some days and hurt him on others. So, all in all, yes it was hard for the king to get control of the church!
they help the people do thinks like cutting or breaking .
The Catholic Church faced several heresies during the medieval period, including Hussitism. This heresy regarded the scriptures as being more important than church leadership, and also regarded ordinary people as being able to interpret scripture without Church help.
It was one of the few places that offered education to people. It also guarenteed people at least two full meals a day.They also provided medicine to the ill and old (It normally didn't help them and sometimes made them worse.) They also provided other services like telling people the time by ringing the church bell to tell them the time.

You simply just ask them for the help you want, and they will help. The Catholic Church helps people all the time.
