Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -For centuries afterwards, secular (non-religious) leaders and the Church (the Pope) competed for power in western Europe. By the year 1050, the church was the largest landholder in Europe. The medieval Church also added to its wealth by collecting a tithe, or tax.
Detailed explanation-2: -The wealthy often gave the church land. Eventually, the church owned about one third of the land in Western Europe. Because the church was considered independent, they did not have to pay the king any tax for their land.
Detailed explanation-3: -The second largest church in India, the sacred Heart Church is a fine example of an architectural marvel of Shimoga.
