Detailed explanation-1: -The Roman Catholic Church also began to lose its power as church officials bickered. At one point there were even two popes at the same time, each one claiming to be the true Pope. During the Renaissance, men began to challenge some of the practices of the Roman Catholic Church.
Detailed explanation-2: -It lost power because of a concurrent movement called the Protestant Reformation. The Protestant Reformation, which was begun by Martin Luther, resulted in a large portion of Europe’s population leaving the Catholic Church.
Detailed explanation-3: -By the 1300s, the Church was beginning to lose some of its moral and religious standing. Many Catholics, including clergy, criticized the corruption and abuses in the Church. They challenged the authority of the pope, questioned Church teachings, and started to develop new forms of Christian faith.
