Most popes throughout the two thousand year old history of the Church have been reformers to one degree or another. Probably the most famous was Pope St. Pius V, who instituted the reforms of the Council of Trent, issued the revised Roman Missal, the revised Breviary, the Roman Catechism, and started the seminary system to educate priests to prevent another ignorant Martin Luther from using the Church for his own ends.

What is meant by the term Gregorian Reforms?
Gregorian Reforms is the term given to the reform of the Catholic Church because of the efforts of its most important figure, Pope Gregory VII (reigned 1075-1085), although the program was launched by Gregory's predecessors during the 11th Century.The attempts at real, lasting reforms began with Pope St. Leo IX (reigned 1049-1054), and were continued by Pope Nicholas II (reigned 1059-1061). Among the major issues confronting the Church at the time were the practice of simony, the buying and selling of Church offices and benefices; the lack of clerical discipline, especially the neglect of clerical celibacy; and the increasingly severe situation of lay investiture in Church offices by the efforts of secular authority. At the Synod of 1059, Nicholas II declared Church freedom in papal elections which was an important step in ecclesiastical independence.The prominent reformer in the effort was Hildebrand, Pope Gregory VII. He instituted ecclesiastical changes, reforms in canon law, and remained adamantin opposing lay investiture. Pope Gregory's reforms were strongly opposed by Henry IV, sparking a bitter confrontation between a pope and a secular ruler. Pope Gregory died in exile, but he was most important in securing the independence of the Church in its administeration from secular interference.

What major changes in the Christian church were made in the Middle Ages?
There are many reforms of the catholic church in the middle ages. Just a few are canon law (the laws made by the pope), the practice of simony (paying the pope or a bishop to become a priest) and the marriage of the clergy. Most of these reforms were used so the Church and the pope could gain power. Pope Gregory VII outlawed marriage of the clergy. Some say he did this so the offspring of married priests would not inherit the land that the Church owned. I'm sure there are many more reforms of the middle ages you can look into.
