In 1378, the Catholic Church faced significant challenges that weakened its authority, including the Great Schism, where multiple claimants to the papacy emerged, and widespread corruption and moral decay among the clergy. Additionally, the rise of Humanism and calls for reform highlighted the church's failings. However, the steadfast loyalty of many believers and the church's vast landholdings and wealth continued to provide a degree of stability and influence. Thus, while various factors contributed to its weakening, certain elements, like committed followers, helped maintain its power.

And the Church has always moved on its own time schedule, the Catholic Church sees things in terms of centuries, after all, it had been functioning for fifteen centuries before Martin Luther was even born. By the time the Pope had clearly seen the need for a Council and had arranged for all the Bishops in the world to get to Trent to begin the Council, and then the Council, itself, ran from 1545 to 1563, and then it had to be implemented in the various dioceses throughout the world, the dust hadn't settled from the Council for another century.
All the following are legacies of the Reformation except the establishment of a unified Catholic Church. The Reformation led to the fragmentation of Christianity, resulting in the emergence of various Protestant denominations and a decline in the Catholic Church's dominance. It also fostered an emphasis on individual interpretation of the Bible, the importance of personal faith, and contributed to changes in education and literacy. However, a unified Catholic Church is not a legacy of this movement.

The leader of a local church was usually a priest. The leader of a diocese, a group of local churches, was a bishop. The leader of the main body of the Church, or, after the East-West Schism of 1054, the Roman Catholic Church, was the pope. The Eastern Orthodox Church was lead by the Patriarch of Constantinople.
