Answer 1

The rise of the nation-state in Europe most directly challenged the power of the papacy. As nation-states began to emerge, they often sought to assert their own authority and sovereignty, which led to tensions with the Catholic Church and the papal authority that had previously held significant power over political matters in Europe.
