Detailed explanation-2: -By the twelfth century, excommunication and interdict were the principal spiritual sanctions of the western Church. Excommunication meant exclusion from the sacraments, notably the Eucharist, and in its harshest form separation from the communion of the faithful.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Church owned a great deal of wealth and land. It became the most important unifying and stabilizing force in western Europe during the Middle Ages. The power vacuum left by the Roman Empire was filled by the Catholic Church. The church was the center of medieval life in western Europe.
