political and cultural influence.

Explanation: the Great Schism (especially the Western/Papal Schism of 1378–1417) undermined the Church’s authority and prestige—multiple rival popes eroded confidence in the papacy, reduced its ability to shape politics and culture, and encouraged secular rulers and critics to assert more independence.
