Answer 1

The Church wanted to have more power outside of just being a religious group. They used a few methods to do this. One way was through the Crusades, where they led armies to conquer different territories. They also had the Inquisition, where they punished people who didn't follow their teachings. These methods helped the Church gain more authority and influence in the secular world.
