The Crusades primarily benefited the papacy and the Roman Catholic Church, as they significantly increased the Church's influence and authority in Europe. The successful mobilization of armies and resources under the banner of Christianity reinforced the pope's role as a leader of Christendom. Additionally, various monarchs and nobles gained power by acquiring land and wealth during the campaigns, but overall, the Church emerged as the most powerful institution in the aftermath of the Crusades.
