The medieval church provide a lot of help services during the middle ages.

For example, monasteries and convents provided places where people could seek refuge. If a woman was abused by her husband, she could get a place to live where she was safe, be she serf or queen.

The Church had its own court system in many countries, which were often a good deal more lenient than the secular courts. In England, a person could qualify for transfer to ecclesiastical court if he or she could read a certain psalm, which proved literacy, and one result was that criminals taught other criminals how to read that one psalm. In Spain, people could qualify for ecclesiastical court if they were heretics, so some people confessed to get the more lenient treatment. This was true even during the Spanish Inquisition, providing the person repented.

Churches and monasteries ran schools.

Monasteries ran hospitals.

Monastic groups ran inns to give shelter to pilgrims and other travelers. Other monastic groups protected people on the roads.

The Church provided families with upward mobility. If a family member went into the Church, it meant that others in the family could benefit in a number of practical ways.

The Church provided many people with a better living than they otherwise would have had.

The Church provided spiritual guidance, and there were other benefits.

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.
