There have been several events in history that shook the power of the Church, to name several of the major ones:

The Schism of the East: when the Eastern Rites all broke in half and half left the Church and the Pope.

The Schism of the West: when the Pope moved to Avignon and we ended up with three claimants to the Papal Tiara, and divided all of Europe.

The protestant revolt: which dragged all countries full of Catholics out of the Church because their rulers decided to leave the Church.
