The Church was an organization that existed in practically all of medieval Europe. It had its own rules, which it could impose on the governments of countries, and though it did not do this often, it did have the effect of producing a certain level of uniformity in how kings and other leaders dealt with their people.
The Church provided much of the education of the Middle Ages, and what it did not provide usually conformed to the Church's practices. In Western Europe, Latin was the language of this education, and so there was a single language nearly all well educated people used over Western Europe. In Eastern Europe, Greek was used, but the Eastern Churches tended to use the vernacular more.
Pilgrimage and crusades sometimes threw people of different countries together.
The Catholic Church, however, served as a strong unifying force among the states and people of Europe.

The Catholic Church, or simply "the Church": there was no other in medieval Europe, and it certainly wasn't referred to as the Roman Catholic Church until the protestant revolt in England centuries later. The center of the Church was in Rome; the word "catholic" means universal. It was meant as the "universal church", or the church for everybody.
In medieval Europe the Roman Catholic Church experienced an affect on its power due to two reasons. The first was the discovery and conquest of the Americas. The second was the Protestant Reformation.
