taking on many duties of a government.

After Rome fell, the Church provided leadership and services the collapsed state no longer did: bishops and monasteries ran schools, hospitals and relief for the poor, preserved records and learning, administered justice and law (canon law), collected tithes, and organized diplomatic and political authority across regions—helping to hold Europe together.
