The power of the Church was lessened.
Explanation: The Great Schism (particularly the Western Schism, 1378–1417) split authority with multiple rival popes, undermining papal prestige and unity, encouraging secular interference and the conciliar movement, and weakening the Church’s moral and political authority — developments that helped pave the way for later reform movements.
