Did churches in the middle ages ever lose a fight?

I am assuming you are asking about disagreements between Church authorities, such as popes, and secular authorities, such as kings or emperors. The answer is yes, sometimes the kings and emperors won. Their victories were not permanent, but the victories sometimes lasted for the rest of their lives. There was a period from 1305 to 1378, for example, when the popes were so dominated by the Kings of France that they did not go to Rome and remained in what has been called the "Babylonian Captivity" of the popes.
