Best Answer

At the time of Edward the Confessor and throughout the middle ages, there was only one Church in England and across Europe - the Church of Rome, with the pope at its head. People in Europe had absolutely no choice about religion, which made things much simpler than today.

Today we would call this the Catholic church but that term was uncommon at the time; it was simply the Church of Rome, or The Christian Church or Christendom.
