It depends on which part of the Middle Ages you are asking about. For the majority of the time the Pope was located in Rome as is the tradition, but from 1309-1378 the Pope chose to reside in Avignon, France instead.
No pope began reform then. They liked it the way it was. Lots of power and controlling the population.
