What was a factor in the decline of the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages?
There were a number of things that contributed to the decline of the Catholic Church's power in the Middle Ages. One was the ongoing dispute between the Church and the various governments over who had power. Both sides lost in this. An example is the Investiture Controversy. Another was the East-West schism, which resulted from a dispute over the leadership of the Church. The eastern Church split from the Western, forming the Eastern Orthodox Church. This reduced the prestige of the popes, even in the West. The Black Death caused many people to question the whole idea of religion. Various problems within the Church, including the sale of indulgences, lead to decline in respect for the Church, and eventually to the separation of the Protestant groups from the Catholic Church. Though this is regarded as having happened after the Middle Ages were over, it began long before then.
