The weaknesses of the Church during the Middle ages were a hunger for power, taking advantage of pious church members, incorporating too much of pagan practices, greed, licentiousness, and divisions.
It was rather too common for priests to not follow their vows of celibacy. Also, new orders of monasteries were created because the established ones were not following the creeds of the church. Also, the priests rarely taught the lay people the true meaning of Christianity.
Also, during the Middle ages, you had two popes which was more about politics than theology.
If you want to get a good idea of the church was like during the Middle Ages, read Piers Plowman.
Now you have to remember that this was not true of everybody and that we have universities, music, and ancient manuscripts because of the church.
