I think you're missing some things/events that really contributed to changes in life in the 1400s and afterward.
~ Invention of the printing press
~ Martin Luther's 95 Theses (nailed up on a church door!)
~ Literacy rate began to climb once there were Bibles in print.
~ Catholic Church began to be seen very differently once people could read the Bible for themselves
~ Artists and architects began to branch out and work in non-religious themes and realms.
... and many others.

What factors contributed to the weakening and decline of medieval Europe?
My answer:
In the 14th century, there were many factors that weakened and contributed to the decline of Medieval Europe. The peasants of the land went to decline; they had realized that they didn't have to work constantly, and be under the law of the authority of the land. In exchange, they then moved into towns where they could become free. Then, the black death had washed over everyone in Europe. making labor in the land desperately needed. Feudalism in Medieval Europe was over by the time that King Henry the 8th clashed with the Pope. And as a result, England declined from the catholic church of central Rome.
