Best Answer

As Europe gradually emerged from the destruction of the Roman Empire, the church became one of the mainstays of civilization. During the pontificate of Gregory I the Great (590-604), the medieval papacy began to assert its authority. Gregory's achievement was to go beyond the claim of papal primacy in the church by beginning to establish the temporal power of the papacy.

The church had many scandals during the late middle ages and this caused people to question the church's leadership. There were also attempts to reform the church as many thought the church only existed for its own benefit.
