The Renaissance began a process of secularization which has reduced the power of priests and bishops in Europe, although it would be a mistake to say that their power has ended completely. The Roman Catholic Church remains a wealthy and powerful organization with many devoted followers, although it is not the dominant power of Europe that it once was.

What ended the authority of priests and bishops?

The authority of priests and bishops within the wider Christian church has not ended.Roman Catholic AnswerThe "authority" of priests and bishops is only a participation in the authority of Jesus Christ over His Church. They have no authority on their own, but only when they are speaking as His representatives. As such, their "authority" will last as that of Our Blessed Lord. As He created the entire world, then I suppose His authority, as exercised through His priests and Bishops, will last as long as the world lasts.
