The Church's response to feudalism, particularly concerning the "general failure of feudalism," can be primarily associated with **the Truce of God**.
The Truce of God was a movement initiated by the Church in the medieval period which aimed to limit violence and warfare, especially during certain days of the week and seasons. The Church viewed the feudal system as contributing to disorder and conflict, exacerbated by the constant battles among feudal lords. By promoting the Truce of God, the Church sought to enhance peace and improve social stability, counteracting the negative effects of feudalism that led to rampant violence and instability in society.
Therefore, the correct answer is **the Truce of God**.
