There were several things that made the church important they were:

It was part of the feudal system

Christian churches were found everywhere in Europe

Most people went to Church and most were Christian

Most people were taught that they were born in sin, fought between good and evil all of their lives, and would be judged at death.

In the Middle Ages the Catholic church was the only Christian religion in Europe

People had to go through the church to communicate with God and the church played a important role in the lives of people. 90% of the people couldn't read or write and had to depend on the church to teach them the stories from The Bible.

Barbarian tribes became Christians

Rome was the capital of the empire and the seat of the Pope

The Pope had authority over the kings and queens in religious and state matters
