How did the bubonic plague impact the power of the Roman Catholic Church in Western Europe?
The bubonic plague weakened the power of the Roman Catholic Church in Western Europe by causing a decline in the number of clergy members and a loss of faith among the population due to the church's inability to stop the spread of the disease. This led to a decrease in the church's influence and authority during the outbreak.
When did the power of Roman Catholic Church decline?
A:The power of the Catholic Church, both temporally and spiritually, has ebbed and waned throughout history. A high point followed the eighth-century forgery of the Donation of Constantine, which Pope Stephen II successfully used to have lands "restored" to the Church, creating the Papal States. The Church was probably at its weakest when Emperor Charles defeated the army of Pope Clement VII and entered Rome in 1527. Charles seriously considered disbanding the papacy, but was dissuaded, uncertain of the outcome if the Catholic Church found itself leaderless. Charles imposed conditions, including that Clement call a Council to reform the Church, a condition Clement was continually able to postpone until his death. In the longer term, it was the Protestant Reformation that resulted in a decline in the absolute power of the Catholic Church, as it no longer had a monopoly on the beliefs of Christians. It was not until 1965 that the Catholic Church actually recognised this reality, when the Second Vatican Council pronounced the right of all to religious liberty, with the right to worship in whatever way they wished. Almost five hundred years after the time of King Henry VIII and Luther, the Church at last accepted its permanent loss of its previous power..Catholic AnswerFirst of all, there is no "Roman Catholic Church". It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Secondly, the Catholic Church never looked at its "power" as secular power, or the power that you are asking about. Individuals within the Church, no doubt, over the centuries have sought to gain secular power, and at some points in history Bishops and Popes had a lot of secular power, but this has never been the mission of the Church, the Church's power has always been that of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and when she gets away from that, things go awry. In that sense, the Church's "power" cannot decline, only her perceived "power" in the secular world.
Why Catholic Church and Protestant both want to kill Anabaptist you mean you know that one of the things is because Anabaptist take the power of State of Church but is ther any more reason that they b?
To the best of my knowledge, the Catholic Church never sought to kill Anabaptists, they certainly condemned them as heretics, but the Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ and is here on earth to save people, not to kill them. To kill someone is a complete loss for the Church, that soul can never be saved.

What is the difference between Catholic church and fourth watch church?
The Catholic Church is the oldest single Christian denomination, founded when Jesus told Peter "Though art the rock, and upon thee I will build me church". The Fourth Watch is a latter day Pentecostal church. The difference between them is almost impossible to describe, but to give you an idea: Think of the Catholic Church as ballroom dancing. Think of the Fourth Watch as disco dancing. I am at a loss to explain the difference any better than that.

Why church lost power in middle ages?
The Roman Catholic Church had a great source of power and influence in the past. The Roman Catholic Church have the same amount of power and influence present today. Its power and influence today is greater than it was in the past, but that may also be in different ways then what it once held. 1. It owned land. The Roman Catholic Church owned many large areas of farmland. People who grew crops on this land had to give one tenth of everything they grew to the Roman Catholic Church. This was called the Tithe. This was a lot of crops for many poor people to lose. 2. It controlled people's beliefs. The Roman Catholic Church told people that when they died, their souls lived on either in Heaven or in Hell. Hell, they said, was a place of great pain and suffering. The people were understandably frightened of going there. So, the Roman Catholic Church gave them hope. It said that after you die your soul goes first to a place called Purgatory, where it would stay until any sins had been burnt away. The Papacy has recently stated that purgatory never existed, and apologized for its mistake. 3. It was rich. As you can imagine. People wanted to be in purgatory for the shortest possible time. The Roman Catholic Church said that you could shorten your stay in purgatory if you did several things. These included: • Attend Church and live a good life • Go on a pilgrimage • Monetary Tithes. The Roman Catholic Church also made money through a second form of Tithes in the form of money. In addition to providing a tenth of any crops made, people were expected to give another tenth out of their income to The Roman Catholic Church. • Buy a special pardon. These pardons were known as Indulgences. The Indulgences were sold out of special interests for the sake of the papacy, and indirectly exploited those that bought them out of their money. These indulgences are now invalid since purgatory never existed at all. The Roman Catholic Church made a lot of money this way, as people - especially rich people - tried to buy their way to heaven. 4. It was not controlled by the King. The Roman Catholic Church was under the Papacy's control and therefore was lead by the Pope. This meant that the King could not tell anyone from the Roman Catholic Church what to do. Even if a Roman Catholic Churchman committed a crime, they could not be tried by a normal court, but instead were tried by fellow Roman Catholic Churchmen. 5. Main Answer: The Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church located in Vatican, Holy See which is located inside Rome, Italy. It is its own country governed by its own laws. It is the world's smallest nation, and occupy's a large portion of modern day Rome of about 600 sq. mi. A fair percent of this is still intact today especially in monetary assets, and in politics of the world as its own foreign power. For example it is a part of the United Nations, and has a high economic value within its small boarders thanks to its followers. Today it is far more powerful then it was in the Middle Ages. Although it is questionable more tamed in its disciplinary methods, and hopefully domesticated in its public practices. The Roman Catholic Church remains by far the largest denomination in Christianity. It has a well disciplined clerical hierarchy, and demands respect and obedience from its followers. The Vatican, a tiny theological state representing the Roman Catholic Church, provides political and diplomatic power unavailable to other Christian Churches. The immense wealth of the Catholic Church can be used to promote its interests. The Vatican is a government itself. It is a political state of which every Roman Catholic becomes a member at the time of baptism. Their allegiance is to the Vatican of the Roman Catholic Church first, then to the country in which they were born. To this day The Roman Catholic Church has more power than any other singular society publicly known. Example from History: The Inquisition: Around 1232 CE, under the Papacy's order, the Roman Catholic Church started a new program. It was a court system called The Inquisition. This court was staffed with the Roman Catholic Church officials who were supposed to seek out and punish people suspected of not obeying the Roman Catholic Church. Heresy is any act or action against the Roman Catholic Church or the Roman Catholic Church beliefs. A heretic is someone who commits an act of heresy. The Roman Catholic Church officials assigned to the court of Inquisition were assigned the job of tracking down heretics. Once tracked down, if a heretic confessed, they were punished. Punishment was quite severe. Punishment ranged from loss of property, to imprisonment, to death. If a heretic did not confess, they were tortured until they did confess. There was no escape. According to the Roman Catholic Church, these punishments were necessary to save the souls of heretics. It was an awful time. The court of Inquisition was open to great abuse. The Power of the Roman Catholic Church: Examples of the power of the Roman Catholic Church includes the flow of wealth, the use of sacraments to control people and their lives, the use of the Roman Catholic Church councils, the propaganda value of the religious beggars (friars), and finally, the horrible cruelty of the Inquisition and the fear it generated.
What do you think was the most permanent impact of the Reformation?
A:One obvious outcome of the Protestant Reformation was the breakup of the Catholic Church, with the creation of Protestant Churches. Another, more indirect, effect was the reformation of the Catholic Church itself. Both of these outocmes are reversible. For example, it is conceivable that the Catholic and Protestant Churches could, one day in the future, reconcile and recombine. Similarly, the Catholic Church could one day become as corrupt as it was in the Renaissance period - and perhaps it has already gone down that path, given revelations about the financial affairs of the Church and those about widespread child abuse.One effect that is more likely to remain permanent is the loss by the Catholic Church of absolute power over the lives of people. The Reformation allowed democracy to take root, and even gave secular authorities power to investigate criminal activity by clergy, should this occur within the relevant jurisdictions. It also allowed people to make their own decisions on how and whether to worship God.
