The medieval church used its religious power to manipulate people into thinking that if they did not do what the church mandated, they would go to hell. The church took advantage of the superstitious people and medieval kings and used its religious power to take over the world. Power in the middle ages was used and abused the same as it is today - the rich and powerful do as they want, and the lesser people get trampled on.
