The Catholic Church played a significant role in the lives of medieval peasants, often providing spiritual guidance and community support. It collected tithes, or a portion of the peasants' produce, which could place a financial burden on them. Additionally, the Church offered education and care through monasteries and parish schools, but it also enforced social hierarchies and promoted the idea of accepting one's station in life as divinely ordained. Overall, while the Church provided essential services, it also maintained the status quo of feudal society.

The church was Catholic so it was the Pope and the priests.
The Catholic Church, or simply "the Church": there was no other in medieval Europe, and it certainly wasn't referred to as the Roman Catholic Church until the protestant revolt in England centuries later. The center of the Church was in Rome; the word "catholic" means universal. It was meant as the "universal church", or the church for everybody.
People who were not Catholic took over.
In the Middle Ages, royalty had access to aspects of the Church to which the peasants did not have. For example, many monarchs had a priest who acted as the monarch's personal confessor.
It was Catholic and the Pope was the head.
