Because they were in control of the London Mafia
The church was Catholic so it was the Pope and the priests.
The Medieval Times brought along a new strategy of organization. Power came with the land you owned. The king or queen, however, didn't have much power. He was just a person to look to in times of trouble. The Pope pretty much had all the power. The Church was what unified Medieval Europe, so people looked to the Pope to solve their problems. The power of the Clergy increased a lot during those times.

Well the church was it's own "person" back then. They were able to choose high ranked officials and the King had to often agree with them. The church was a big thing in medieval times.

- People when to church every Sunday and were awoken by the church bells every morning- Had to pray every night- The only way they believed they could get into heaven was if the Catholic Church let them, so they always went to church- Payed tithes
The church ran everything because the people believed that they needed the church to get to heaven. The church taught that man was born in sin and the only way to communicate with God was to go through the church. If a person was excommunicated they were doomed and this was also true for kings to peasants. This gave them a lot of power.
