There was no Church in the Middle Ages that could really be considered the only Church. The Catholic Church was clearly the largest and most important until it split into the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church in 1054, after which the two were about the same size and importance. There were a number of other church organizations, however, and these included the Coptic Church and the Oriental Orthodox Church, among others, which have survived to the present. There were other church organizations, such as the Celtic Church, which were subsumed by the Catholic Church during the Early Middle Ages. And there were heretic church organizations, such as the Catharists, during the entire period.
In Western Europe, the Roman Catholic Church. One should note the Greek, Coptic, and Russian Orthodox churches flourished also at this time, having been divided by the great Schism of l054. One of the theological debates centered over whether the Holy Spirit was diffused through the Father and the Son ( still mentioned in the Nicean creeds) or was a separate entity! Really, things like this cause major theological splits! No talk of ecumenism. so it went.
The leaders of the Catholic Church were the popes.
The question assumes something that is not true, however. Though Christians of Europe were nearly all Catholic, prior to 1054, the Catholic Church was never the only Church. The other Churches in the Early Middle Ages included the Oriental Orthodox, Coptic, Celtic Orthodox Church, along with others. Most, but not all, of these were outside Europe, and several survive to this day.
After 1054, the Catholic Church was split into the Roman Catholic, headed by the pope, and the Eastern Orthodox, headed by the Patriarch of Constantinople, though not with the same authority as the pope had. So after that date, the popes only lead about half the Christians of Europe.
The Catholic Church itself was the only institution which survived the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire (the eastern part continued to exist through the Middle Ages). It originally developed in the Roman days and was the religion of the western part of the empire (the religion of the eastern part was Orthodox Christianity). Catholicism was the religion of Western Europe throughout the Middle Ages, until it was challenged by the protestants during the Renaissance.
In 2010, smartphones continued their dominance with such phones as the Nexus One, HTC Evo, Motorola Backflip, Samsung Galaxy, the Blackberry Bold, Motorola Droid X, and of course the Apple iPhone 4. Many of these phones featured large screens and/or easy-to-type interfaces, and even integrated social media applications.
The Roman Catholic Church
i think its the catholic church
That European institution is "The Church."
None, since the Roman Empire fell apart in about 400 AD and the Middle Ages started over 500 years later. The Church faced numerous problems during the fall of the Roman Empire, which eventually led to the Western Church (now the Roman Catholic Church) and the Eastern Church (now the Greek Orthodox Church) to split and excommunicate the other. During the Middle Ages, the Church became very influential with the royal and noble households and had practically untouchable political and economic power.
In western Europe, the Church ran most of the schools for primary education in the Early Middle Ages and High Middle Ages (5th through 13th centuries). After that, secular education became more common, especially in Italy. Universities were founded and run by Church organizations in many places, but were funded by the state or commercially in others. The English universities were state run, which is why they survived the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII. In the Byzantine Empire, the educational system, which was extensive, was state run.

The Roman Catholic Church
The Middle Ages began after the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 CE. In the beginning of the Middle Ages, no single state or government united the European countries. The Catholic church emerged a powerful institution and Kings, Queens and other leaders derived their power in protecting the church.

The Catholic Church was founded before the Middle Ages began, and had become the official state religion of the Roman Empire during the 4th century, including about half the people of Europe. Christianity continued after the Roman Empire fell, and the various peoples of Europe were nearly all converted by the time the Middle Ages ended. During the Middle Ages, every village had a church. In fact the distinction between a hamlet and a village was that the village had a church, but the village did not.
