Roman Catholic Answer:The main focus of the Catholic church in the middle ages or in any age, from the beginning until now, has always been to bring Jesus Christ to the people and the people to Jesus Christ. The church has never had any other focus or aim. Different people, individuals, are no different then, then now. The Church, from the beginning, has been composed of sinners. Every person on the face of the earth is born in original sin-that is why Jesus had to come in the first place. This, however, makes for difficulties with "who is doing the right thing?":

"Yet The Bible clearly teaches that the Church (especially in its institutional sense) comprises saints and sinners, good and bad. We see this most indisputably in several parables of Jesus about the King of Heaven (that is the Church), such as the wheat and the weeds (or tares), where Jesus says that they will grow together until the final judgment, or harvest time (Matt. 13:24-30; cf. Matt. 3:12). He compares the Church to a fishnet, which draws good and bad fish, ultimately separated (Matt. 13:47-50)." from A Biblical Defense of Catholicism by Dave Armstrong

The middle ages, commonly called the "Age of Faith" by Catholic historians was a time when great saints arose in the church, many people joined (or founded!) the great religious orders to bring Christ's word to people or to dedicate their entire lives to worshipping God, and the Church grew.
