Basically, the medieval church kept their power through never being "wrong", either by silencing "heretics" especially through the use of the Spanish Inquisition or just by not accepting ideas they didn't agree with even if there was concrete evidence. Silencing "heretics" could be done in one of three ways, killing them, imprisoning them or banishing them from the country. An example of the Church refusing to consider an idea was Galileo and his theory developed from Copernicus that the planets revolved around the Sun. Before, the Church had always accepted that the Earth was the center of the universe. If they considered Galileo, even with all his research and scientific proof, they would have been admitting that the were wrong and that some of the knowledge they had "interpreted" from God and angels was wrong. That would be unacceptable to the Church and so they banished Galileo from the Catholic religion and ordered him to never share his theories.
If the Catholic church accepted new ideas they would be admitting that they would be wrong. So the Church would not be seen as infallible and they would lose power over the people.

It had a lot of power over kings an peasants, because they were all extremely afraid of disobeying God (what was considered against God was decided by the church).
