Detailed explanation-1: -One reason for the weakening of the Church was the humanism of the Renaissance. Humanists often were secular, or nonreligious, in their thinking, and they believed in free thought and questioned many accepted beliefs. Problems within the Church added to this spirit of questioning.
Detailed explanation-2: -The shift toward political and religious freedom in turn, helped spawn the Reformation movement, which caused a divide within the powerful Catholic Church, leading many Europeans to turn to then-new Protestant faith.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The challenge to the Catholic Church was that some Renaissance thinkers challenged the Church’s monopoly on explaining how the world worked. Think of Galileo with his telescope, for instance, and his resulting house arrest by the Church.
